It seems that Java 6 supports TLS up to v1.0, is there any way to use TLS 1.2 in Java 6?
Maybe a patch or a particular update of Java 6 will have support for it?

Public Oracle Java 6 releases do not support TLSv1.2. Paid-for releases of Java 6 (post-EOL) might. (UPDATE - TLSv1.1 is available for Java 1.6 from update 111 onwards; source)
Contact Oracle sales.
Other alternatives are:
Use an alternative JCE implementation such as Bouncy Castle.
Use an IBM Java 6 ... if available for your platform. According to "IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition fixes to mitigate against the POODLE security vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566)":
"TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 are available only for Java 6 service refresh 10, Java 6.0.1 service refresh 1 (J9 VM2.6), and later releases."
However, I'd advise upgrading to a Java 8. Java 6 was EOL'd in Feb 2013, and continuing to use it is potentially risky. (Tell or remind the boss / the client. They need to know.)
Java 6, now support TLS 1.2, check out below

You must create your own SSLSocketFactory based on Bouncy Castle. After to use it, pass to the common HttpsConnextion for using this customized SocketFactory.
1. First : Create a TLSConnectionFactory
Here one tips:
1.1 Extend SSLConnectionFactory
1.2 Override this method :
@Override public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, final String host, int port, boolean arg3)
This method will call the next internal method,
1.3 Implement an internal method _createSSLSocket(host, tlsClientProtocol);
Here you must create a Socket using TlsClientProtocol . The trick is override ...startHandshake() method calling TlsClientProtocol
private SSLSocket _createSSLSocket(final String host , final TlsClientProtocol tlsClientProtocol) { return new SSLSocket() { .... Override and implement SSLSocket methods, particulary: startHandshake() { } }
Important : The full sample how to use TLS Client Protocol is well explained here: Using BouncyCastle for a simple HTTPS query
2. Second : Use this Customized SSLConnextionFactory on common HTTPSConnection.
This is important ! In other samples you can see into the web , u see hard-coded HTTP Commands....so with a customized SSLConnectionFactory u don't need nothing more...
URL myurl = new URL( "http:// ...URL tha only Works in TLS 1.2); HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection )myurl.openConnection(); con.setSSLSocketFactory(new TSLSocketConnectionFactory());
