Just tried it again, but got an exception:
'-Xms256m'
'-Xmx2560m'
'-jar'
'splitter.jar'
'--resolution=14'
'--geonames-file=/home/osm/radkarte/cities1000.zip'
'/home/osm/build/germany.osm.pbf'
'/home/osm/radkarte/contourdata.osm.gz'

The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
not part of the command.

Some Hints how to use the pbf format?
