issue is verified in JDK 8 and JDK 9 documentation. Statements needs to be corrected for close() and hide() methods: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/Dialog.html#close-- http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/jfxdocs/javafx/scene/control/Dialog.html#close-- Moving it to JDK for developer's evaluation.
