I am trying to build the splitter on a mac (10.5.7 with java 1.6.0_13, 64-bit server VM), and failing. I have successfully built mkgmap and run it, so my java setup is mostly ok.
I regularly build splitter in a similar environment to yours. I have to be very careful to make sure that I use the 1.6 Java compiler (not just the JRE) when I do this. If you have just adjusted the symbolic link to java 1.6, this will not be sufficient to compile with 1.6
I don't have my Mac in front of me right now, but I believe I set the JAVA_ROOT (or similar) environment variable to the 1.6 framework.
Thanks -- that was the problem. I have installed the 1.6 JDK, and used "Java Preferences" to set it as the default. "java -version" and "javac -version" both report 1.6. But, ant searches for various java implementations and finds first or prefers the 1.5. After setting JAVA_HOME I can run ant successfully on splitter. I have a patch to mkgmap/doc/README.java to explain this. While it's perhaps overly tutorial, it's probably helpful to new people who are only running java because of OSM. Another mystery - after 'ant' I don't find dist/splitter.jar. Do I need to do something special to get a jar file? The mkgmap ant build seems to create this automatically.
