Hi guys, this is how JAsperReports works from the version 4.0.1. This is actually a good news, it is no longer necessary set a class for an expression, since JasperReports is able to figure it out what it needs.
On the other side, jrxmls may result incompatible if used with old version of JasperReports. In that case, remember to set the compatibility mode in the options dialog.
Anyway, I always strongly suggest to upgrade JasperReports when possible.
