Facing issue while using jasperreports.jar 6.13.0 for compiling .jrxml files

[hpanmand]

We are using below ant target for compiling .jrxml files which are present in our application source folder.

<taskdef name="jrc" classname="net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask">    <classpath refid="classpath" /></taskdef>

We are using ant build framework to compile application source code with jrxml files.
we are getting the below issue.

NOTE: we have upgraded our jasperreports.jar from 6.8.1 to 6.13.0
