FOP Extensions

Hello,

  From what I understand there are extensions for FOP to provide functionality beyond the standards established by the W3C.

  Are these extensions distributed with the FOP release (I have 0.95)?

  If not, how does one obtain and incorporate these extension?

  I am particularly interested in font extensions that might include barcodes.

Thank you,
                   Rich Filoramo

If you go to the barcode4j home page, you'll find a download link there.
I've never installed this myself, so I'm not sure how much more help I
can be.

Hello Erik,
 
Thank you for your response.  I have some follow-up questions.
 
 
The instructions in the link below state the following ...
 

To setup the barcode extension, do the following:

*	Add barcode4j.jar and barcode4j-fop-ext.jar to the classpath
<http://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/faq.html#classpath> . 
*	Alternatively, you can use the combined JAR:
barcode4j-fop-ext-complete.jar which combines both Barcode4J and the FOP
extension. 

 
Where can I find these jar files?  Where should they be saved on my test
PC?
 
Currently my test PC only has the latest JRE loaded on it.  Is that
sufficient to follow the classpath instructions?  Or do I need a full
installation of Java?
 
Also, it is not clear to me that the java command listed in the
classpath instructions actually incorporate the the jar files into the
"classpath".  (My Java background is somewhat dated.)
 
Thank you,
                   Rich Filoramo

	I am probably misremembering, but I think the only extensions
that are supplied automatically with fop are the EXSLT extensions
incorporated into Xalan, the XSLT processor included in the
installation.
	 
	As for your particular question, one available barcode extension
is barcode4j:
