The OP is actually quite lucky. I still have to support 1.4 installs.
But what's the worst: If you tell these IT departments to maybe update, they tell you that updating would pose a security risk which is ridiculous when you consider what's out there and actively targeting all JVMs younger than 1.6u27

I've not come across an IT organization that wouldn't love to upgrade to the latest piece of kit, IF their customers were willing to pay the cost - remembering that much of the cost will be in terms of repaying technical debt incurred by short-sighted decisions to skip best practises (coding to standards, producing documentation, refactoring, ...)
