[Bug 1765570] [NEW] libcommons-lang3-java causes NullPointer in surefire/javadoc

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Tiago Stürmer Daitx (tdaitx):

libcommons-lang3-java requires a patch to work with openjdk-10, without
it any packages that depend on it on runtime will fail with a
NullPointerException - specially libmaven-javadoc-plugin-java (doc
generation) and libsurefire-java (tests), which are used by most (if not
all) maven dependent builds, thus a lot of stuff fails.

As the libcommons-lang3-java build itself depends on both libmaven-javadoc-plugin-java and libsurefire-java, there's a 3 step to get a build working:
1) build libcommons-lang3-java patched for openjdk-10 (with docs and tests disabled)
2) rebuild surefire (for some reason it embeds libcommons-lang3-java code during build time instead of relying on the system dependency)
3) rebuild libcommons-lang3-java patched for openjdk-10

The resulting debian binary package from each step must be included in
the next build steps: step #2 requires the binary from #1; step #3
requires the binaries from #1 and #2.
