All you should have to do is feed in the x, y, and z-axis of your joystick as parameters to the Holonomic Drive method.
I haven't personally seen the Java WPI so I can't say for sure. Check?

Now what is the fun in that?
I can argue that making the function yourself is 10x better. First, you learn how it works; its not a black box to you. Second, you have FULL control over the code. Now this year, our code is getting ramped up; it has actual structure

Last year I just did spaghetti code, because of my laziness. You really can't have structure with a black box in the middle of it.
There is no challenge when using the driver class; its like putting together a kitbot. Sure it works and its easy, but where is the accomplishment in that?
