I was advised recently that I could use the much smaller .pbf file rather than .bz2 from Geofabrik, but that I had to use a particular splitter, in this case r161-3. This, I did. I wonder, though, how it is known what particular splitter version to use with, say, the next .pbf file I choose to use. I note, too, that the current splitter page displays r-170 only. I am sure it displayed more when I used it recenty, such as r161-3, for example, which I now find at http://89.16.174.14/detail/8.
The advice should probably have been to use 161 or newer. Once pbf support was added, I do not see why it would disappear again in a later version. I am using 170 and it has parsed any pbf I have thrown at it so far. - Bartosz

There used to be a splitter crosby_integration (sp?) branch r161 that did not package all the required .jar files. Steve prepared two or three builds of that. The code was later merged to http://svn.mkgmap.org.uk/splitter/trunk with all the required library .jar files. The current revision is r170, which I am using. The osm.pbf is not only about file size, but also about processing speed and possibly memory usage. Marko

I've been using the old splitter prepared by Steve till now, because I didn't know about that merge. Now, after successfully compiling r170, I get the following error attempting to split a pbf file: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: crosby/binary/file/BlockReaderAdapter Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: crosby.binary.file.BlockReaderAdapter at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248) Could not find the main class: uk.me.parabola.splitter.Main.

I would guess that you moved the splitter.jar file somewhere else and used it alone. You need to keep the whole distribution together, or at least copy the lib directory and its contents as well as the splitter.jar. ..Steve

I think it's not the first time, that this question was ask. Maybe it would be better to have a short note in the download-file or at splitter downloadpage. Henning
I thank you all for your helpful responses. Last year, I created a log of my procedure to obtain Great Britain data from Geofabrik, split it, and make a gmapsupp.img for transfer to my Garmin Legend (my comprehension of how all of this works is close to zero!). Then, it seems, I could copy the splitter.jar and mkgmap.jar files from their original folders and place them in a new folder with everything else that was required, and the process ran perfectly. I do not update my data very often, and I had to be advised recently, as Steve writes, that the splitter.jar cannot be used alone. Am I right in thinking this must have been a change that took place in the intervening period? If so, and further to what Henning wrote, it might be useful for users like me to have such fundamental changes documented and highlighted, if that is possible. I do recognise and appreciate, however, the time that must already be spent. Bob
