Checkstyle
Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.

Sonar
Write Clean Java Code. Always.. Sonar helps you commit clean code every time. With over 600 unique rules to find Java bugs, code smells & vulnerabilities, Sonar finds the issues while you focus on the work.
-
A special kind of validation is enforcing that record fields are not null. (Un)fortunately, records do not have any special behavior regarding nullability. You can use tools like NullAway or Error Prone to prevent null in your code in general, or you can add checks to your records:
-
JavaParser
Java 1-15 Parser and Abstract Syntax Tree for Java, including preview features to Java 13

PMD and Checkstyle are static analysis tools that check your code on each project build. Gradle allows to apply them easily.
-
NullAway
A tool to help eliminate NullPointerExceptions (NPEs) in your Java code with low build-time overhead
Does anyone have experience using this at Meta who can compare to https://github.com/uber/NullAway ?

InfluxDB
Build time-series-based applications quickly and at scale.. InfluxDB is the Time Series Platform where developers build real-time applications for analytics, IoT and cloud-native services. Easy to start, it is available in the cloud or on-premises.
-
find-sec-bugs
The SpotBugs plugin for security audits of Java web applications and Android applications. (Also work with Kotlin, Groovy and Scala projects)
-
Spoon
Spoon is a metaprogramming library to analyze and transform Java source code. :spoon: is made with :heart:, :beers: and :sparkles:. It parses source files to build a well-designed AST with powerful analysis and transformation API.

On Java, you can use the forbidden-apis build plugin (https://github.com/policeman-tools/forbidden-apis) to fail the build whenever a timezone or locale or charset is not specified explicitly (it forbids the methods from the Java API which use an implicit timezone/locale/charset). I don't know whether there's something similar for Python; it might be harder because Python is much more dynamic (though it might be possible to use monkeypatching to warn whenever the bad methods are used).

Anyways, have you looked at Proguard core?
-
I found another one for Java 9+, which even seems to be maintained: https://github.com/talsma-ict/umldoclet
-
error-prone-support
Error Prone extensions: extra bug checkers and a large battery of Refaster rules.
Maybe the checks and rules are already usable for you with these two checks disabled? By the way, it is not required to use either Guava or New Relic to be able to integrate Error Prone Support. For example, the `ScheduledTransactionTrace` BugCheck will just be a no-op if you don't use New Relic :). W.r.t. to your fourth point, if you are sure there is not a change in ordering and you indeed found a false positive could you maybe file a bug report :)? We want to fix all false positives where possible of course.
