3.2 and 3.3 M3

Currently IScanner.setSource(...) doesn't mention the 'null' case but its only implementation in JDT Core correctly handles 'null' which makes sense. Since IScanner states:
  This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

It is safe to add "<code>null</code> clears the source" to the Javadoc.

Released for 3.3M4.
To verify, check the javadoc.
