It would really help to know what O/S you are using. From the backward slash it looks like windows. Usually this is to do with path variables. I tend to work around this type of problem by running osmosis under windows from its own directory.

  1. Download the osmosis-0.48.3.tgz and extract Link to osmosis-0.48.3.tgz
  2. Then download osmosis-master Link to Osmosis-master. Then place the files inside osmosis-0.48.3 inside master file. It was lacking the plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar file.
  3. Also, when giving Java location make sure you add something like this : IF "%JAVACMD%"=="" set JAVACMD="C:\\"Program Files"\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin\java"

I found the following mistake in osmosis.bat: it references plexus-classworlds-2.4.jar but the real name is plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar, that solved it

That didn't work for me. I changed to 2.5.2., saved and restartet but nothing changed. When I look in the osmosis.bat the spelling is correct. I have tried multiple versions of osmosis. What can I do?

Thanks!

Does https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/osmosis help? That's a fork that I created in September with some batch file changes:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/osmosis/commit/c2a8a692f52b68f6cf997b7c410bf0ece9309a24

(there have been commits to osmosis since which this doesn't incorporate BTW)

I also have this problem, I had a hard drive crash, came to reinstall and downloaded all the latest zips.

running osmosis came up with the error "Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher"

I went for an older version and it came up with a different error, strange

So then I downloaded the zips that "SomeoneElse" suggested and hey presto the error disappeared. so I then cleaned out the directory and copied in the new bin from SomeoneElse, and the error reappeared. getting even stranger.

So then I cleaned out the directory again, put in the latest release, and the error was still there, so then I copied in the bin from SomeoneELse and the error disappears, quite bizarre.

Does this previous question help? A quick web search for "osmosis classworlds" (without quotes) turns up lots of people asking the same question, and lots of answers.
