Custom Java Sidebar for Libre Office

can you be more explicit what you mean by "make my Java dialog as a
child of LibreOffice"?

Maybe looking at how the existing "WollMux" Java extension handles this
may help: https://github.com/WollMux/WollMux

For WollMux 18.0, almost all dialogs are implemented as Java dialogs,
while 18.1 uses the LibreOffice sidebar for most things.

I don't have deeper knowledge of how the sidebar can be used from
extensions, but I'd guess that embedding a JFrame into it is not easily
possible. (Doing it in own Java dialogs should work, however.)

Best regards,
Michael
