Hi,
Source and target define what compatibility to use, not which JDK is being
used. So 1.5 probably just will not allow that to compile. However, you
could tell it to use a different JDK (1.3), using the executable option, and
then it would actually be compiling with that version of java.
That would be my suggestion, rather than trying to for 1.5 to work with your
1.3 code.

-source <release> Provide source compatibility with specified
release
-target <release> Generate class files for specific VM version
executable="/opt/java/jdk1.1/bin/javac"

I'm attempting to convert a Java 1.3project to Ant that has an attribute

the following error message:
warning: as of release 1.5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be used as
an identifier
(try -source 1.5 to use 'enum' as a keyword)
What do I need to do to tell Ant and/or javac to not apply this Java 1.5
constraint?
<javac
