Jake,
Depending on the barcode symbology you need to generate, there are fonts available. For example, the Code39 symbology can be created using a freeware font (I don't know where to find it, just do a web search). If you need to generate graphics, you'll need to use a graphics library to render the fonts into a graphic file. If the symbology is not available as a font, you'll need a library like Barcode4J (as recommended by Stéphan). There are several other libraries – some free, some commercial, Google is your friend – that support a huge number of symbologies. About the reader/scanner: if you mean a hardware barcode scanner (handheld or fixed), most brands will just work with PCs and Macs, especially the corded ones. They behave like a keyboard (they're USB HID devices) attached to the computer, so they work with any software. I know that because I sell barcode readers here in Brazil. I would recommend anything from Motorola Solutions or Honeywell. Choose an adequate model for the kind of environment and barcode symbology you need to read. Any reseller can help you with model selection. If you need to read by software (capturing with a camera, for example), I really can't recommend anything.
