Barbecue is a free and open source Java library for Barcode generation. This requires the library barbecue-1.5-beta1.jar to be in classpath. The following example shows generating Global Trade Item Number Barcode.
package com.bethecoder.tutorials.barbecue; import java.io.File; import net.sourceforge.barbecue.Barcode; import net.sourceforge.barbecue.BarcodeFactory; import net.sourceforge.barbecue.BarcodeImageHandler; public class GTINBarCodeTest { public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception { //Get GTIN-12 Barcode instance from the Factory Barcode barcode = BarcodeFactory.createGlobalTradeItemNumber("012345678905"); File imgFile = new File("testgtin12.png"); //Write the bar code to PNG file BarcodeImageHandler.savePNG(barcode, imgFile); } }
