Using AxisCamera in labview dashboard with a java programming

[pavanetti]

My team is programming in java. We want to see a camera image in the labview dashboard.
In java, we want to use addInt, addByte, addFloat, addArray, addCluster. But we can't convert a Image to a basic type. Does anyone know how I send the images to the dashboard in java?
And I found an alternative dashboard. It's called ZomB. But I don't know if it allowed its use in competitions. There's nothing in the rules.
And this dashboard asks to modify some files from cRIO. It says it can corrupt the file ni-rt.ini. Can I connect via FTP with the cRIO and make a backup of files? Someone recommended me to try this ZomB or should I try to labview.
