Not necessarily.

Java 6 and 7 are "almost completely compatible".

Most programs written in Java 6 will run in Java 7, and vice versa. But not all.

C++ is similar with regards to C code. They're compatible enough that a lot of people will write "C/C++", but they're still incompatible enough that you'll get yelled at by a lot of people if you write "C/C++".
