For minor changes, you get no notice, usually, except deep in the bug reports.

For major changes, e.g., from Java 4 to 5, or 6 to 7, or 7 to 8, you get years of advance notice.

For minor changes, the update does not break your code.

For major changes, you have no excuse not to be prepared. Also, since the obsolete Java 5, major changes have been backward-compatible and should not have broken your code.

So I do not believe that it was the Java updates that caused your applications to "not work".
