It looks like incompatibility with Java version 8. Can you, please, try to run 
Osm2Garmin with Java version 7?

You can change Java version used by the program in c:\Program 
Files\osm2garmin_1.2\etc\osm2garmin.conf.

Install Java 7 runtime and change the jdkhome parameter in the osm2garmin.conf 
file as follows:

jdkhome="C:/Program Files/Java/jre7"

You must run your editor as Administrator to be able to edit osm2garmin.conf.

In the meantime, I was able to reproduce the problem.

According to https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229191 this problem 
is caused by a bug/incompatibility in JVM 8. Switching to newer Netbeans 
version (8) will be needed to fix it. In the meantime the only possible 
workaround for Osm2Garmin is to run in on JVM 7.

Yes, should be. 

I am currently working on update which should be able to run on JDK/JRE 8. 
Hopefully it will be finished soon.

Thanks a lot.
The default torrents url (http://osm-torrent.torres.voyager.hr/files/) doesn't 
work anymore, do you recommand a new one for osm2garmin?

If you download and install (from scratch) the latest Osm2Garmin version 1.2 
build 270, it comes with new default torrents URL. This should point you to the 
torrent of the latest Planet file.

This issue was updated by revision r271.

Updated libraries to work with Java 8.
Heap memory expanded to 4 Gb in 64-bit Java. This should avoid problems caused 
by growth of the Planet file.

Ok thanks.
Sorry but I have downloaded the last source files (r271) with SVN but after 
that I don't know how to compile them to install the soft.

New installers are available for download at 
http://osm2garmin.mantlik.org/downloads.

Please uninstall your version and install the new version. This will not affect 
any existing data.
