IDEA builds a cache of JAR files.  The file copy method it used was
broken in -p3, resulting in 0 byte JAR files in the cache.

Look at the contents of ~/.IntelliJIdea/system/jars that this is your
problem, then upgrade your JDK to -p4.

If that's not your problem, are you sure you followed the
idea-3.0.5/Install.txt instructions to the letter?  They're a bit weird,
but worth following strictly.
