Hi Brett Thanks for your answer!
Yes I have compiled the source with the command ant build. The reason I didn't use the binaries is that I work on a mutualised server where I don't have admin rights. Thus I can't do anything that requires a sudo command like sudo apt-get. After compilation I have put the path to osmosis (home/my_user/data/prog/package/bin) in the path variable. So now I simply call it from anywhere with the command "osmosis". When I try osmosis --arguments I get this java error which makes me think that osmosis is found properly but that he doesn't find the path to some java library or something. Does it make a difference that osmosis is installed in my home and not in a higher level directory?
