I'd suggest dropping the 'two decades' part of the sentence here as it 
seems to restate the first part in different words.

'... to compatibility' might read a bit better, although the meaning is 
slightly different, of course. But as the rest of the sentence already 
says 'across releases' it sounds like a bit of repetition otherwise.

I'd suggest using the long form 'Sun Microsystems' here. While 'Sun' is 
still a convenient short form, its convenience might disappear over time.

Group, as an OpenJDK organizational concept, should be upper cased, as 
in 'OpenJDK Group'.

Group, as an OpenJDK organizational concept, should be upper cased, as 
in 'CSR Group'.
