Making a Custom Dashboard For Java

I was wondering how (if it's possible) to use a custom dashboard - the one created in Labview which you copy under the C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard directory and run under default (is any of this wrong?) - while using java. We have some variables in Java (things like ultrasonic sensor output) that we want to use with the default dashboard (because its enhanced UI over the Java SmartDashboard). How can we link these variables to sliders or other UI elements on the default dashboard? Is is as simple as using the putString/putData method or is it more complicated?

Thanks in advance for the help.
