Splitter (MKGMAP) not working in Windows 8 (With Java 7)

After a long struggle to get Java 7(JRE) running on a 64Bits Windows 8 system, It seems Splitter is not working ???

The cmd dialog box is only to see for a short time, how can a pause that one?

How to list a help screen for Splitter..

Any help is much appriciated.... Windows 8 is driving me nuts

Regards,

Bert

Hi Bert,
The command for the help options (with output to a txt file)

java -jar splitter.jar --help=options >options_splitter.txt

I dont have win8 but it shouldnt be a problem to run it.

The command line could look as follows:

java -Xmx2000m -jar splitter.jar --output-dir=splitter --mapid=10010001 --polygon-file=%DIR%\resources\benelux.poly --max-nodes=1750000 --write-kml=benelux.kml --output=o5m --geonames-file=cities5000.txt --description=OFM_BNL %DIR%\Splitter\benelux.o5m

java -jar splitter.jar --help=options >options_splitter.txt

Gives me a empty file...

I see that there are errors, but how to see what the errors are .... the dialog is to quick.

All the files worked with my old Vista computer, which died recently

You mean you are starting the programm "cmd.exe", type in your splitter command, and then "cmd.exe" crashes? I don't have a Windows 8, but: Even if splitter crashes, nothing happens to any command line interface - so that should be readable.

No, I see an error dialog for about 0.5 seconds but it is to quick to read, but I can see some class.xxx and method in it.. only wish I can freeze it to read proper.

Re: Splitter (MKGMAP) not working in Windows 8 (With Java 7)

why dont you make a batch file?
Put the command string in a text file, and on the second line
pause
Save it as splitter.bat and run it.

I think you need to run the splitter in its own directory, it needs other files, you cant run a standalone splitter.jar, so
splitter-r305\splitter.jar

Maybe this helps?

2. Fix for java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in windows:-

To solve NoClassDefFoundError error in windows , we have to set CLASSPATH environment variable.

to set classpath in windows, we have to configure the below values

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.;

%CLASSPATH% means existing classpath to be added and . points to current directory

It seems that depending libraries are not found. They are contained in the splitter-r305.zip file.
Please ensure that your c:\test directory contains the complete contents of the downloaded splitter-r305.zip file. At least the lib directory must be in c:\test
