Sets the body of this while statement.

Special note: The Java language does not allow a local variable declaration to appear as the body of a while statement (they may only appear within a block). However, the AST will allow a VariableDeclarationStatement as the body of a WhileStatement. To get something that will compile, be sure to embed the VariableDeclarationStatement inside a Block.

Throws:

    • the node already has a parent
