eclipse-mylyn 3.12.0-2 fails to build from source in Zesty with the following error message:

I got the same error message when attempting to build the package on my Zesty vm, but didn't have any problems on Debian Sid. When I saw that the package containing commons-lang mentioned in the error message had an Ubuntu-delta, I wanted to check if this could explain the different results. I grabbed the libcommons-lang-java package from Debian and installed that on my Zesty vm. With this package, eclipse-mylyn built successfully, therefore I believe the Ubuntu-delta or a difference in how libcommons-lang-java has been built is causing this issue.
