intellij idea 4.5.3 install: java version mismatch

I am using freeBSD 5.3 and I recently installed jdk-1.5.0p1 (also 
linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.06_1 which is a dependency).

I was trying to install intellij idea 4.5.3  build 2250 (running ./idea.sh 
in {install home}/bin ) when I encountered an error. An excerpt follows:

bash-2.05b$ cd /usr/local/src/idea-2250/bin
bash-2.05b$ ls
appletviewer.policy idea32.png          inspection24.png    log.xml
degenerate.sh       inspect.sh          inspection32.png    log4j.dtd
idea.sh             inspect_diff.sh     inspection48.png
idea16.png          inspection16.png    libbreakgen.so
bash-2.05b$ ./idea.sh
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack 
location

And immediately after that i get a gui message:

Java Version Mismatch

The JDK version is 1.4.2_06
Idea requires JDK 1.4.2_04 under freeBSD

Obviously I should downgrade(?) the linux jdk and the native jdk1.5.0 which 
I find
rather unpleasant (deinstalling, finding the right version, downloading, 
compiling, etc). If some of you can help with helpful info about Intellij 
Idea IDE (such as appropriate version of jdk I should use, proper Idea 
installation under bsd, etc) I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks in advance
