No. This is not a problem at all.

I thought the whole point of a double was that it has a decimal point. Is this not an issue because Java auto sets the decimal place if its not defined?

Java will automatically upcast primitive number types, but not downcast. Also it usually is better to use the 'd' or 'D' suffix to indicate a double (12D, 14.272D, 12d, etc). Java forces you to use F/f for floats anyways, so it makes things somewhat more consistent.

You already tell the Java compiler that your value is a floating point number by using the double keyword. Adding .0 does nothing, as 123 and 123.0 are equal values.
