But in my particular case im already popping a small dialog that is centered around the user choosing a date. The typical use case would be that they are choosing a date very near to the current day (or current value), so being able to quickly click is preferable to typing.

com.sun.javafx.scene.control.DatePickerContentDatePickers

10/19/2019, 7:45 PMWell as of how im still on 8 anyways, but yeah id have to look at how much DatePickerContent (and thus my copied version) is using from com.sun. The class itself was package private as well as some other things it was calling so ive pulled those things out. So hopefully i dont run into that later down the road.
