I started from your repository and changed the name of the version file 
in debian/rules, from
VERSION_FILE=src/main/java/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/json/PackageVersion.java
to
VERSION_FILE=src/main/java/tools/jackson/core/json/PackageVersion.java

Then the Java build is OK but there is a failure in dh_builddeb:
   dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: error: parsing file 
'debian/libjackson2-core-java/DEBIAN/control' near line 7 package 
'libjackson2-core-java':
 'Depends' field, reference to 'libfastdoubleparser-java': version '=': 
version number does not start with digit

No idea why a version number of "=" lands in
	debian/libjackson2-core-java/DEBIAN/control
this is very weird.
