Problem running osmosis w/mapsforge on mac

Hello, I'm trying to run osmosis(with mapsforge writer) on Yosemite, but I have encountered a problem. I followed the tutorials, but when I try to run the command I get this:

    GRAVE: Execution aborted.

I have no clue what this cocoasubrtf class is, and I could not find any help by googling (quite extensively). Any Ideas?

UPDATE: I have tried running osmosis on Windows as well, and I get the exact same error.

UPDATE 2: I have been suggested to use osmosis 0.44 as a fresh install, and that somehow worked :)

Try asking at the osmosis-dev mailing list although it seems to be pretty low traffic.

I'd also add details of what tutorials you followed and what the output of "java -version" from the command line is.

I followed the quick install guide on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Quick_Install_%28Windows%29, but I should mention that I had to tinker a bit before making it work: at first it didnt see the jre path, then I had to modify the classworlds pointer in the osmosis file, because it was wrong. I have both java 8 and 7 on my Windows PC.

For mac, a first I downloaded the zipfile and tried running it from there (I used the guide on the wiki). Then I tried downloading osmosis with homebrew. On mac I only have java 8 (for work). Should I try to download java 7 and see if that works?

terminal output on mac: java version "1.8.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

It's especially odd to me that I get the same error on both machines.

... maybe you can also ask (or do an intensive search for "osmosis" there before) on the mapsforge mailinglist,

see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mapsforge-dev

It looks like you somehow managed to get RTF encoded text into a context where plain text was expected (all that "{\rtf1\ansi..." stuff smells of RTF). Editing some source or config file with TextEdit.app and accidentally saving as RTF, perhaps?
