Try downloading older versions of the jar files you are using with the code you have. Check out
http://repo1.maven.org and then use the package name as the remainder of the path.
There you will find older versions of the class files, and the REALLY old ones should be compatible with 1.3. You may need to get the javadocs associated with the files just to make sure that the interface is not too different, or tweak you code to match.
