icu/source/data/Makefile says:

# Build icudata.jar:
# - add the uni-core-data to the ICU package
# - swap the ICU data
# - extract all data items
# - package them into the .jar file
# TODO(ICU-20466): Move this to Python
# NOTE: If you get the error "No rule to make target 'out/build/icudt64l/uprops.icu'",
# you need to reconfigure with unicore data.  See icu4j-readme.txt

out OTOH seems to be a directory in ìcu/source/data which already has an in` directory. It is just not built…
