Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Is there any way to statically detect broken references in a set of Java class files?
We're using this maven plugin to detect version conflicts & mismatches between all the dependencies that are used in our projects; it's relatively strict but it does let you know which (potentially transitive) dependencies clash.

A Scala rant
You can also use the upstream https://github.com/spotify/missinglink if you're using Maven instead of sbt.

There's been a recent release of missing-link with support for Mult-Release JARs and running analysis on multiple projects concurrently. More info here (applies not only to Scala/sbt, so it's worth linking it here): https://old.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/lxmi4w/sbtmissinglink_032_has_been_released_multirelease/

Preventing version conflicts with versionScheme (improving the Scala library ecosystem)
There are still some issues with MissingLink, like that it can't handle Multi-Release JARs (but that's being fixed I write) or that it uses thread-unsafe caches and so it can't be executed in parallel (and so it can take a long time to finish on big projects with many modules). But taken all together I swear by it. It has already saved us from runtime failures after deployment many times (it's easy to get incompatible versions when working on big projects with big number of dependencies). Instead, we get a red build in CI -- just anybody should expect for goodness sake when using a strongly-typed language like Scala.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing maven-dependency-versions-check-plugin and missinglink you can also consider the following projects:
bnd - Bnd/Bndtools. Tooling to build OSGi bundles including Eclipse, Maven, and Gradle plugins.
cloud-opensource-java - Tools for detecting and avoiding linkage errors in GCP open source projects
soot - Soot - A Java optimization framework
mdoc - Typechecked markdown documentation for Scala
Apache Spark - Apache Spark - A unified analytics engine for large-scale data processing
FrameworkBenchmarks - Source for the TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks project
sbt-missinglink - An sbt plugin for missinglink
