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

Is there any way to statically detect broken references in a set of Java class files?
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.

It used to be that using OSGi was cumbersome, but these days most libraries have are OSGi-friendly and bnd makes it really simple to develop OSGi applications.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing missinglink and bnd you can also consider the following projects:
soot - Soot - A Java optimization framework
java-oo - Java Operator Overloading
cloud-opensource-java - Tools for detecting and avoiding linkage errors in GCP open source projects
QuickShell - QuickShell is an Eclipse plugin to use Java JShell inside the Eclipse IDE.
maven-dependency-versions-check-plugin - Maven plugin to find dependency version conflicts
gradle-s3-build-cache - An AWS S3 Gradle build cache implementation
