A workaround is to add the ListView to the window after it is shown;

Window window = new Window();
window.show();
window.add(new ListView<BeanModel>());

A ListView requires a ListStore. Also it did not throw an exception befor, a liststore was still required. I will change the code but you should also fix your code.

I changed the code so it renders without a liststore too. Change is in SVN at revision 2334
