Hello Chantal, the problem why Hani is so upset, when he finds a "Jdk1.4" in a message is, that he is using a Mac and SUN does not support the Mac as a Java-target OS. So if IntelliJ would deside to make IDEA using 1.4, he and a lot of other Mac-OS- (and perhaps other OS-) users would stand in the rain.
I could not remember exactly what OS you are using, but if it's Linux, I can understand you very good to try jdk 1.4 in the hope that it runs better than 1.3.x. When I tried to run any Java application on my SuSE Linux (maybe RedHat Linux behaves different), it was a pain, slowly and never getting to run for at least an half hour. It seems that SUN effort to support Linux isn't the best, especially for non-US-citizens.
