uuid is not allowed

[amthomasiv]

I just installed iReport 4.8.0 and I am getting the following error on just trying to start a new blank template. I am not even opening an old template. I just try to create a new one and immediately get the error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 469; cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'uuid' is not allowed to appear in element 'jasperReport'.

The full error:

Error loading the report template

I am not sure why this would do this on a new blank template.

Check in iReport   Tools/Options/ClassPath
Which version of jasperreports-X.Y.Z.jar    in this classpath?
After upgrade iReport to new version installer may save old classpath in new iReport  with uncompatible libraries (previous version jasperreports-x.y.z.jar)

I think that may have been it. I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling without importing settings. It definitely was a bad setting from previous install import.
