Do you need model support?  From what the dialog says for loading Interlis data, Java is needed for model support, implying that will still read interlis data without it.

Adding the JRE path to the environment is yet another case where OS X applications do not get any of the shell environment (ie set in your .bash_profile).  There is a hidden, little documented (if at all) method to get environment into an application, but I don't like to encourage it because it's clunky to use (hidden file, and no GUI unless you install 3rd party software).

I think Qgis needs a way to add arbitrary variables to its environment (or at least well known ones), otherwise individual plugins need to have a configuration to set these things, which many developers don't think about.
