Another thought regarding the compatibility testing, in Debian we have another significant test suite: the Debian archive itself. Debian contains about 1000 Java packages, 50 million lines of codes, that get rebuilt with every new version of Java packaged. So if a new version of Java introduces a regression we quickly notice it. For Java 8 we still have about 25 packages [1] that do not compile or have test failures, but this is not specific to Debian.
