[Getting Started: cannot compile sample reports]

I downloaded JasperReports 3.5.2 and am following the getting started instructions. I went into the barbeque sample and successfully compiled the java source, but when I try to compile the xml report and produce the .jasper file I get an arrayoutofbounds exception.

I am running  ubuntu 8.10 64-bit

jdk: java-6-sun-1.6.0.10

ant: Apache Ant version 1.7.1

Here is the output when I run ant compile after executing ant javac in the jasperreports-3.5.2/demo/samples/barbecue directory:

Buildfile: build.xml

/opt/jasperreports/jasperreports-3.5.2/demo/samples/barbecue/build.xml:32: Errors were encountered when compiling report designs.
 

---------------

I also tried other samples in the samples directory and got the same error each time. I searched for this error and was not able to find anything. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
