3 years ago I got Apache FOP working with the Sourceforge version of Barcode4J:
The source forge version of Barcode4J dates from 2015 it has been forked, is now hosted on Github and is being actively developed.
So this is how I got it working from the fop cli
You need maven installed and openjdk (this is on Ubuntu 24.04 in WSL)
apt-get install maven openjdk-17-jdk openjdk-21-jdkjava
Testing it works (see below for the install script)
Copy the xsl and xml files from barcode4j-2.2.4\barcode4j-fop-ext\src\test\resources\ to fop-2.9/fop/
Now goto fop-2.9/fop/ and run a test using the samples from above
./fop -xml barcodes.xml -xsl barcode-data-XSL-2.xsl out.pdf
Here is what it looks like if it's working
You should get this sample:
Install script
This is how I got it working I just had to copy the correct jars from barcode4J into the fop/lib directory
wget -O barcode4j-2.2.4.tar.gz https://github.com/SingingBush/barcode4j/archive/refs/tags/2.2.4.tar.gz
wget -O fop-2.9-bin.tar.gz 'https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?filename=/xmlgraphics/fop/binaries/fop-2.9-bin.tar.gz&action=download'
tar -xzvf barcode4j-2.2.4.tar.gz
cd barcode4j-2.2.4
mvn package
cd ../
tar -xzvf fop-2.9-bin.tar.gz
