What Java?  Sun, OpenJDK...?

That is Java 6 and not Java 7.

Even knowledgeable people do not have the power to read your mind, so it 
will be difficult to recommend anything.  In my experience applications 
often work with Java 8 even if they are written for Java 6.  But there 
are also cases where they don't - I have seen this related to Swing and 
if that was the case without changing the application you are  typically 
not going to get it to work.  So going back to the company that wrote 
the application is probably not the worst idea here.

Since you neither disclose the error nor the type of operating system or 
anything else you need to be extremely lucky to find a reply that 
contains a solution for your case.

Good luck!
