Just launch YaST and use the "Installation Sources" module to add another 
installation source. 

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-RC1/inst-source/ and 
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-RC1/inst-source-java/ 
should do the trick. If you still can't find a package, this might be due 
to our policy to only include open source software.

The binary RPMs are in all probability there... ;)

Apache 1.3 has been dropped quite some time ago. For SUSE Linux 10.0 we 
only maintain Apache 2.0.
