Dashboard alteration in Java and setting start up programs
My question is twofold when it comes to using the Java development system as my team is.

1) How do you burn a Java program to the cRIO as the startup program? My team hasn't been able to figure this out. Can you even do that yet? Is it as simple as building a project in a certain way and importing it into LabView somehow to use with the NI burning tool?

2) I know the Dashboard VI can be altered to make it fit your teams needs more. However, I also know that the Dashboard is heavily based on LabView. When using Java, is it possible to alter the Dashboard VI and have a way in the Java API to send data to the LabView API to output in real time vs having to use println statements? I know the DashboardLCD class can be used to output text to the Dashboard, but we want to be able to use controls, etc.
