  When using Rational RequisitePro Baseline Manager to
  generate a report, the report is not generated and an error
  is displayed instead:
  java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
   at
  org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.run(ModalContext.ja
  va:284)
  ...
  Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
   at
  com.rational.rm.basecomp.gui.ReportDialog$8.run(Unknown
  Source)
   at
  org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread.
  run(ModalContext.java:101)
  
  The problem was caused because of there is at least one
  package in baseline comparison structure that has any of
  these characters: \ / : * ? " ? ? |.  It is possible because
  RequisitePro allows you to create packages with these
  characters in the name.
  

Problem conclusion

• A logic is added to remove these invalid character from the
  package name when generating the report.
  

Temporary fix
