As I understand the problem, the swing libraries in JDK 1.4 have a number of important bug fixes (one of them, that I dealt with, is the corrected behaviour of context popup menus), but the earlier workarounds for those bugs do not function any more.
So, for any well-tuned GUI application the migration from J2SE 1.3 Swing to J2SE 1.4 Swing will be a thorny path. Nevertheless, I hope that IDEA will migrate to J2SE 1.4 at some time... but now, just use JDK 1.3 to run IDEA and JDK 1.4 as the target JDK. It works fine. BTW: I am surprised, how did you manage to launch IDEA with just a JRE. As for me, it works, but you should also take a tools.jar from the JDK and feed it to IDEA at startup (correcting the reference in idea.bat appropriately). I have succeeded to run build #609 in such configuration in some university, where was JDK 1.4 installed, but there was no place to install 1.3. Good luck!
