Description

JCas is now mostly (if not entirely) just a trampoline to CAS and other objects. Complete this transform. Change the uses of jcas to work when passed the CAS instead - and deprecate jcas use. Change jcasgen to include new constructor that just takes the cas. update all uses of jcas to use the cas.
