It is the same with Java. The only breaking changes I have seen were when old code used things that became keywords in newer versions. That said, new version of Java means a new runtime and all the issues that can introduce. Running an application on the new version has always been pretty easy. It's recertifying it and possibly tuning things like garbage collection that make this daunting for a large organization.
