What JDK to run IDEA 11 on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion?

Yes, it is not possible to run IDEA 11 with JDK 1.7
You need to install Apple JDK 6
So far JDK 1.7 has critical issues (besides lack of Retina support :)
preventing it to be used with IDEA 12

Dear all,

I am trying to run IDEA 11 on a clean version of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I installed JDK 1.7.0 09 from the Oracle site and "jave -version" from the command line confirms that it has been installed successfully:

java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)

However, when I launch IDEA, I get the error message below:

"No compatible version of Java 1.6* is available"

Is it not possible to run IDEA 11 with JDK 1.7 only?

Many thanks

Out of curiosity, what are some of the critical issues (besides lack of retina support)?
