Hi all, Because of the requirement of a supplier, I had to produce a datamatrix inside a document (a paying-in slip) which needed to be of a specific size and shape. I had no problems with the shape, but I could not set the size limits. The newer version of barcode4j (2.1.0) supports the properties I need (with the name of min and max symbol size), while the version currently boundled with jasperreports 4.0.2 does not. For now I'm able to produce what I need because I recompiled barcode4j with some modifications to allow me to print the datamatrix with the right shape and size limits and forcing the procedure to use a jasperreports jar with the modified library inside it. That was easier than haking inside the code of jasperreports given that I had to be quick and I didn't want to produce a "dirty" jrxml. Are there any plans to support the new barcode4j and it's new properties in a future jasperreports release?

Hi, I'm using iReport to produce a paying-in slip following the specifications of the Italian mail service (Poste Italiane) and almost everything worked as expected. I hit a problem with the datamatrix though: the requirements are to produce a symbol which has the shape of a rectangle and the number of cells must be 48x16. After a little googling I discovered that Barcode4J can accept a parameter for the min and max size of the barcode (they are min-symbol-size and max-symbol-size, from here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20110210135048.6305.60BA733C%40jeremias-maerki.ch&forum_name=barcode4j-users), but on iReport these parameters are not exposed, and forcing them by hand in the xml file ends with an error because they are not managed. Is there a way to add them? I'm open also to download the source and recompile iReport with some modifications. Thanks in advance
