Well, some bidi support was in swing packages a long time ago but it seems to 
be intended entirely for system usage, e.g. javax.swing.text.Bidi class in 
jdk1.3 has package access level. Another one - sun.awt.font.Bidi is in Sun 
proprietary package but is public. It's not so rich as jdk1.4's one,
among methods it has createLineBidi, getVisualToLogicalMap, getLevels etc and 
at least it knows all these LRM, RLM, PDF, LRO stuff.
So, you right about jdk1.3 - it remains to be seen, another alternatives could 
be our own TR9 implementation (afaik renderx guys went this way last summer, 
probably because they have to support jdk1.1 and ms jvm) or some third-party 
implementation, e.g. ICU4J.
