The error says that the encoding is specified as UTF-8 (in the XML
header) but there is an invalid UTF-8 sequence in the file. Is the XML
generated by DdlUtils or is it manually created or modified ?
You could use an encoding-aware XML-capable editor (e.g. Eclipse WTP,
or XMLSpy or something similar) to check the file.
