While 2011 Java certainly still runs today, 2011 Java is Java 6, which probably looks quite a bit different than the Java you'd write today. Not "different language" different, but different enough, especially with lambdas, and if you're doing anything with multithreading, or like to use functional-style streams APIs.

(I remember when generics came out in Java 5... now that did make it look a bit like a different language.)
