> There are new APIs to get shared (per CAS) instances of empty lists and arrays of various types.
> These APIs are called getEmpty/xxxx/List|Array  where xxxx can be blank or a type name part. (e.g. getEmptyFloatList).  
> These APIs are found in the CAS, the JCas, and on the various JCas classes for the type kinds (e.g., FloatList has a getEmptyList())
> Improve things by shortening these APIs uniformly by dropping the "get".  This will also align the style with how Java does this in its Collections class for empty instances.
