Oracle Reports 10g and jbarcodebean

I'm attempting to create an Oracle report which produces barcodes. The report will get an ID no from the database and this needs to be encoded in Code39. I've found a javabean package which will produce barcodes at http://jbarcodebean.sourceforge.net/ .

However, I have never used java or javabeans before and I'm not making any progress. I've found a couple of tutorials on the Oracle web site. These are "Building a Report with a Barcode" and IDAutomations "Barcode Tutorial for Oracle Reports". Unfortunately the methods used in these tutorials don't exist within the jbarcodebean. I'm assuming that I need to write my own methods for the jbarcodebean and base them on the ones in the Oracle examples. But as I have no java experience this is probably beyond me.

Has anybody here used this javabean with Oracle reports? I'd be grateful for any help.

Thanks,
