Java library for Barcode scanner?

Question

Hello I have keyboard wedge type of scanner. Necessary condition for it is that it requires cursor to be set on text field to receive barcode Number. But i want to store scanned barcode number into buffer and used it later.

so is there any java library available which will help me in that aspect ?

Thanks !!!

Zxing is a good option.

You can also try this:

I just answered a similar question in depth here, with an example of my implementation (I didn't want to use a keyboard hook because I didn't want to require focus on the program before interpreting a scan).

: zxing is used to read barcode from images but i have barcode scanner to do that. I want java library which will read scanner output without need to have cursor on textField. – Sachin Doiphode Apr 09 '11 at 14:52
There is the class [Scanner](http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html) that comes in my mind for a problem like this. – moritz Apr 10 '11 at 12:28
