I guess it depends on what you consider 
a "change."

The latest Java is version 1.4, but there were 
at least:

1.0
1.1
1.1.1
1.2
1.3
1.3.0
1.3.1

I may have missed some of the "minor" releases.

Some of the later version "breaks" apps written 
in previous versions.

In my experience, that is a very unusual 
position. ?Most of the people I
know who have done both have clamoured to get 
off VB and onto Java.

This is, perhaps, the strangest assertion I have 
ever heard made about Java. ?1.4 versions in, 
what, seven years? ?Not goshdarned often enough
by a long shot, most would say. ?OS/400 changes 
faster than Java, I think.
