Here's an example in python (but the UNO API calls are really quite similar for Java): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33092424/control-libreoffice-impress-from-python That leaves the question on how to dynamically generate slide content, but that also works via UNO (you can even send Impress files over the wire).
