SmartDashboard and vision targeting on driver station laptop

[Hellocommenters]

Our team is new to using SmartDashboard, vision targeting and running vision targeting on our driver station laptop as opposed to the cRIO. We want to implement these three capabilities this year. We've looked and it seems using Vision Assistant is the best way to design and build our vision targeting but we do not know how to integrate the resulting code with the SmartDashboard, so we can then communicate the vision targeting results to the cRIO. It appears that to extend the SmartDashboard we need to develop code in Java but Vision Assistant does not have an export to Java code function (only LabView, C and .net). Does anyone have suggestions (or resources we can refer to) for the most straightforward way to make these play nice together or will we just be stuck taking the Vision Assistant exported code, translating it to Java and then using it to extend the SmartDashboard?
