Description
Description:
Currently /JavaJaxRS/spec/pojo.mustache instantiate the collections. It would be great if those get assigned to null by default and instantiate if required.
There is a PR: #3615 which works similarly.
Proposed Solution:
Updating /JavaJaxRS/spec/pojo.mustache template referring to the above-mentioned PR.

Research direction
Start with /JavaJaxRS/spec/pojo.mustache and compare its collection initialization with the behavior described in PR #3615. Update the template so collections default to null and are instantiated only when required. Done means the generated Java POJO follows this initialization behavior.
