Programing cRIO (java) without FRC packages

Hello, Since the new robotRIO is coming out for the 2015 season, our team now has two cRIO 4 slot controllers that are no longer good for competition. Being about $1000.00 in parts, we are hoping that we can put them to use through some demo robots.

Our question is, is it posible to write, upload, and execute code on the cRIO II without needing the FRC driverstation, or any of the FRC software? Or, how can the FRC software and libraries be set to allow for the user of the cRIO II without the FRC driverstation?

I have found a link that details how to do this in C/C++, but our target language would be Java, since our programming team consists of Java programmers. Thanks for the help, and here is the link. http://www.ni.com/example/31462/en/
