Well, for Apache-local stuff this is the Apache community. Maybe small packages that are of use in more than one place one of the many Commons projects may be the right place. We could at least try to compile a list of those known to us and put it on the FOP site. For packages that exist outside of Apache we can only have some links to them. Don't know how this can be coordinated at all. At least, having pointers to such projects on the FOP website helps these projects to gain publicity.

Looking for the best location for a barcode library
Hi there Before I open a SourceForge project I wanted to ask if there might be interest in a barcode library/framework here at Apache. I started to develop the library two years ago and it has already seen real-life use in two projects with my last employer. I'm in the process of doing a major refactoring cycle with the goal of making the whole package opensource. Features: - written in Java - Implementations of the following 1D-barcodes: - Interleaved 2 of 5 - Code39 - Codabar - Code128 - EAN13 and UPC-A (only partially impl.) - Output formats: - SVG (as W3C DOM and JDOM) - AWT (planned, first experiments) - Bitmaps (planned) - Integration - Xalan extension (generating SVG) - Servlet (generating SVG) - FOP extension (in progress) - Other planned features: - support for 2D-barcodes (ex. DataMatrix) Currently, the project's a one-man show, so I think it doesn't qualify as a candiate for an Apache (sub-)project. But who knows. That's why I ask around first. Being a FOP committer I could also add it to FOP but I think the project isn't exclusively useful in that context. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

AW: BARCODE
Why not a fast, flexible and reliable solution? 3 things are needed: o Java routines to calculate barcode rectangles and label areas depending from barcode type and its parameters. Possibly such routines are freely available. Otherwise: give me the specs, I will write the code (the nowadays popular datamatrix will be harder) and somebody has to run scan tests. o Java code to render the rectangles: very easy in PDF o Handy XSL:FO Input. My experimental hack below is functionally OK allowing barcode type selection with appropriate parameters. The renderer extensions is quite easy and elegant.

Someone is disussing this problem in the following newsgroup: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-devm=103098230522738w=2 It seems that one way to solve this problem for several .ttf files is to convert it in a .ttx file and then back again to .ttf through FootTools (Open Source software that you can download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/ ). They say that by these transformations, some .ttf that previuosly had trouble to be used with TTFReader, has begun to work. I tried the same with the 3of9.ttf file, but the process to re-convert the .ttx file in .ttf file does NOT work.

Two ways I know of. Using barcode fonts. Using SVG to draw barcode. We have used a stylesheet to draw the SVG works really well.

You can define margins on the body region, where the text flow goes. Define a region-start appropriately, where the static-content is placed. If you need marks alternatively on the left and right margin (for books), use repeatable-page-master-alternatives. There is more about this in the spec, for example at http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_simple-page-master Note: Reading and understanding specs is the price to pay for becoming a guru...
