Java + Barcode reading

Your barcode scanner will probably ship with a driver which pumps the decoded barcode into stdin as text. Or the manufacturer may provide one on their website

Shouldn't matter how it's plugged in, they'll still all work the same way. With input devices like these, card readers etc, it's very common for the driver to pump the output to stdin, rather than demand that your app asks the device for input
