IDEA-15527

IdeaJdk: Allow to use Java 5 as base JDK even if IDEA itself is using Java 6

1
Currently the version check in IdeaJdk enforces the base JDK to match exactly the JDK version of IDEA itself. But it should be possible to run IDEA with Java 6 and still compile plugins with Java 5. Therefore please change the version check to allow an earlier Java version but not a newer one.

You won't be able to start IDEA on java 1.5 with idea itself (as libs) compiled with 1.6. When you choose internal java platform you choose java to compile and run IDEA.
