Problem:

How do you baseline a project which contain data sources with column names that start with numbers?

Resolution:

If your project contains data sources, and any of the column names in those data sources start with numbers, when you try to baseline your project an error will occur such as "javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at ... ".

This can occur if the names of the columns are used as TAGs in the exported XML files, but numbers are not allowed in XML TAG names. Before creating a baseline of your project you can either remove the data sources, or you can rename the columns within your data sources to something appropriate, i.e. a name that starts with a letter and not a number.
