IClassFile 's getWorkingCopy method with null as copy owner [message #257566]

Hi,
In the api desc of IClassFile:

public ICompilationUnit getWorkingCopy(WorkingCopyOwner owner,
IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws JavaModelException
...........
The buffer will be automatically initialized with the source of the class
file upon creation.
.............

Parameters:
owner - the owner that creates a buffer that is used to get the content of
the working copy or null if the primary owner should be used

-----------------------------------------------------

so if i pass the null as WorkingCopyOwner, what happens, it will not
create the working copy or not initialize the buffer or return the primary
compilation unit?
