Creating LOVs with "Desktop Integration Manager" in EBS 12.1.x

Question

After some struggling getting the "Desktop Integration Manager" to work (due to some obscure hard-coded security checks) I was able to create an Upload Integrator. The next step is now to add some LOVs on the upload spreadsheet.
I managed to create a Gender Popup LOV using a table (e.g. FND_LOOKUP_VALUES). Here is how to do that:
Desktop Integration Manager => Manage Components
Navigate to your attribute (your interface column) and click Update. Enter the following:
Val Type      = Table
Id          = LOOKUP_CODE
Meaning     = MEANING
Desc          = DESCRIPTION
Val. Entity     = FND_LOOKUP_VALUES
Where clause     = lookup_type = 'IGW_SUBJECT_TYPE' and enabled_flag = 'Y' and meaning <> 'Unknown or not reported' and sysdate between start_date_active and nvl(end_date_active, hr_general.end_of_time)
Lov Type      = Pop List
Type your custom Header in the ‘Prompt above’ field if required.
So far so good. However, I am not able to create a simple date picker or a Java validation. Somehow you need to create (or choose) a ‘Component’ with the ‘Manage Components’ function. But exactly how do you set the Component & Attribute up to make this work? For the date picker I chose:
Validation Type = Java
Component Name = Date Picker for From Date
LOV Type = Blank
I get a Popup Date Picker in my sheet now, however when I select a date is does not return it to the spreadsheet.
Can someone provide some screenshots how to create a date picker and/or a Java validation using seeded or custom Components?
I have read the documentation in the Desktop Integration Framework Developer's Guide Release 12.1 (December 2009) but that didn’t get me much further as there are no examples at all.
Thx

Hi, with 'hard coded security check' I meant that some parts of the "Desktop Integration Manager" only work if you have responsibility "Application Developer" attached to your User.
You can change a 'seeded' integrator with:
update BNE_INTEGRATORS_B
set
created_by = <your user id>
,last_updated_by = <your user id>
,display_flag = 'Y'
,source = 'C'
where integrator_code = <your code>
;
