Title:
  libcommons-lang3-java causes NullPointer in surefire/javadoc

Status in libcommons-lang3-java package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in libcommons-lang3-java package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
