Here's an issue: You're using quite an old version of the JDE.  Even if 
it works with 21.3 (I assume it does), you don't seem to have all the 
supporting files you need.

I can't provide specific information, because I'm using the latest JDE 
release (2.3.5).  I'm using a bundle called CEDET (Collection of Emacs 
Development Environment Tools), which includes senator as part of 
semantic.  You could consider upgrading to 2.3.5.

If you want to stick with your current version, you need to find out 
where senator-minor-mode is defined, and make sure that file is included 
in your load path.
