Keep in mind the amount of work you will have to do is the same. You'll still have to supply a scaling factor to get an accurate angle, because the rRIO doesn't know if you are using a 1 turn pot, a 10 turn pot, or a 54 inch string pot. The same caveat holds true for the encoders.
I didn't realize in the past that Java didn't have a function that just allowed you to supply a scaling factor when you declare the sensor. That's how LabVIEW has always had it.
