Dzengiz,

I assume you are not running the IDV via Webstart, but running the regular 
installation
of the IDV.

You should not be concerned with what version of Java you are running since the
IDV is bundled with its own version of Java.

If your Java installation is causing problems for the IDV, you may consider
uninstalling it.

Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
