Re: Barcode inegration wih Apache FOP

Thank you!  I misunderstood how to add jar files to the FOP classpath.  
I have edited fop.bat, and barcode apears to be functioning. Now I will 
spend some time with your barcode XML format documentation to tweak the 
images into what I want.  Then I will get back to you with my results. 

Thanks for the incredibly speedy and accurate response!  Perhaps you 
could add a note to the FOP extension documentation to point users to 
fop.bat (or fop.sh) to set up the proper classpaths.

For reference, below is my fop.bat:
