Robot in Java, Dashboard in Labview?
 

Would i be able to have my robot programmed in Java, which it already is, but program my dashboard in LabView since it's easier?

Absolutely.

There is a LabVIEW implementation of NetworkTables built into the FRC libraries that you can use either on a robot program or on your dashboard. In fact, you can view NetworkTable values with the default LabVIEW dashboard.

Use it to communicate between your LabVIEW dashboard and the robot program. For some examples of robot to Java program communications you can look here:

In your case the laptop side is the LabVIEW dashboard instead of the Java program shown in this example.
