You can get away without scripting.

<target name="check-version">
  <available property="jdk1.3+" classname="java.lang.StrictMath" />
</target>

<target name="ensure-1.3" depends="check-version" unless="jdk1.3+">
  <fail>Can only build if running in a JDK 1.3 VM</fail>
</target>

and make all your targets depend on the ensure-1.3 target
