Trouble with Base (Mac OSX 10.5.8 and Java SE 6)

Like the title says, Base will not run as it says that no Java installation can be found. But when I go to Preferences/Java, the default Java installation appears (SE 6). As I am using OSX 10.5.8, Java came pre-installed and JRE 7 is only for 10.7 and above I believe.

Is it just that Base is incompatible with this set up, or is there something I can do to work around this problem?
