Description Steffen Gemein CLA 2010-06-08 09:18:46 EDT 
Build Identifier:  20100218-1602

The XML-source of any report contains an invalid character ">" within the createdBy-property. You can find this character under the XPath \\report\property[@name="createdBy"].

An example report looks like this:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.21" id="1">
    <property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.5.2.v20100208 Build &lt;2.5.2.v20100210-0630></property>
    ...
</report>

The first bracket surrounding the build number is escaped correctly by the &lt; but the second bracket is unescaped.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new Report-Project
2. Create new Blank Report 
3. View XML-Source

    <property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.5.2.v20100208
Build &lt;2.5.2.v20100210-0630></property>


It is correct. Only "<" is required to be escaped. ">" is OK to exist.
