Do you have to print it into a PDF report?
If so, there is an easier way of generating barcodes in a fop template;
try something like this:

<fo:block text-align="left">
   <fo:instream-foreign-object>
     <barcode:barcode xmlns:barcode="http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns"
            message="${productId}">
       <barcode:code39>
         <barcode:height>10mm</barcode:height>
       </barcode:code39>
     </barcode:barcode>
   </fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>

This will print the barcode of a productId with barcode coding "code39"

barcodes are dynamically generated when a report is rendered and are not
stored in the system.

Create a sales order and approve it.
In the order detail screen you should see (on the right in a box called
"Shipment information") a link to generate "Packing Slip"
That report contains a barcode.

As a newbie to the world of Apache OFBiz, I have had a hard time tracking down a
current tool to generate/look at XML-FO files.

http://foa.sourceforge.net/index.html seems to have had no activity for years.
Apache Fop doesn't appear to have a gui. Everything else is pretty expensive.

What's everyone using?

Eclipse with Freemarker plugin. or maybe with XMLBuddy to keep track of all
those tags
