    Description

      The default constructor for ChoiceDialog throws a NullPointerException

      Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
      at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:203)
      at java.util.Arrays$ArrayList.<init>(Arrays.java:3813)
      at java.util.Arrays.asList(Arrays.java:3800)
      at javafx.scene.control.ChoiceDialog.<init>(ChoiceDialog.java:95)
      at javafx.scene.control.ChoiceDialog.<init>(ChoiceDialog.java:78)

      Also the Javadocs for this constructor mentions the getItems() method but I think the setItems() method was intended.

      Here is a short program to trigger the NPE.

      import javafx.application.Application;
      import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceDialog;
      import javafx.stage.Stage;

      public class DialogTest2 extends Application {

          public static void main(String[] args) {
              launch(args);
          }
       
          @Override
          public void start(Stage stage) {
      ChoiceDialog<String> choiceDialog = new ChoiceDialog<>();
          }
      }
