Using that united_kingdom2pts.txt is bound to be very slow because it cuts out the UK along the coastline which is much more complex than it needs to be; a polygon with 10 nodes is perfectly suitable, you don't need one with 10s of 1000s! Use something like this for your polygon: britain 1 -6.450000E+00 4.980000E+01 -2.000000E+00 4.890000E+01 -1.850000E+00 4.925000E+01 -2.080000E+00 4.973000E+01 1.350000E+00 5.090000E+01 2.250000E+00 5.258000E+01 -5.000000E-01 6.130000E+01 -8.920000E+00 5.785000E+01 -6.876876E+00 5.561885E+01 -5.412946E+00 5.507351E+01 -5.035438E+00 5.283576E+01 -6.450000E+00 4.980000E+01 END END > but I get an error of > > SEVERE: Thread for task 1-read-xml-0.6 failed > java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Way" Your planet file is broken. Get the latest one (090428) and it will work.
