For example, Java in the last year or two has made incompatible changes such as introducing the "enum" keyword, changing the output format of BigDecimal.toString(), and adding methods to the DOM interfaces, all of which have required changes to Saxon. When you accumulate such changes over 20 years they become quite significant, especially as it becomes difficult to identify when the change was made and to locate documentation. You could try to go back to an earlier version of Java if you can find it, but that might only work with an old version of the operating system, which might not have a device driver for whatever it is you now use for input and output...
