Building Barcode4J
Introduction
This page tells you how to build Barcode4J.
Requirements
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.5 or higher (available from Oracle)
- Apache Ant 1.6.2 or higher (available from http;//ant.apache.org/)
- Download Barcode4J as described on the Download page or from CVS
Note
Barcode4J requires J2SE 1.5 at compile time, but works with J2SE 1.4 at run time.
Building
Go to the directory where you placed Barcode4J and run the Ant build script ("ant" on Windows, "./ant.sh" on Unix).
If all goes well, this creates a "build" directory which now contains several things:
- barcode4j.jar: The barcode package
- barcode4j-light.jar: A reduced barcode package without dependency on Avalon Framework.
- barcode4j.war: The sample web application with the sample servlet
- the "docs" directory: This directory contains the generated Javadocs
