Hey @vadimator
Ok - I don't know if I can help cos I haven't seen this before but I'll try. If you can save/save as/export other projects then the problem would appear to be some sort of corruption with the .xml file itself.
So you have say a week's worth of changes that you're going to lose - right? do you have a version controlled version by any chance? probably not if you're raising this ticket. -but I had to ask - cos that'll take all the effort out of the heavy lifting.
anyway - navigate to the file's location and take a copy of the file - so worst case - you have a spare copy. you can do this with the project .xml file - I've just tested this and its fine with unsaved changes.
according to what you said - you don't actually know when it started occuring - right? so you could have only lost 1 days worth of changes?
Now - this is either straightforward or not - if the file's corruption was bad enough that it resulted in malformed xml you shouldn't be able to open the project in ReadyAPI!.
Try and open a spare copy of the project file in software with an XML parser (like XMLSpy or Notepad++ with the XMLplugins. If the file is malformed you should get a warning about substitution characters - if it's not malformed xml - can you look through the file to see if anything pops out? That's a really rubbish suggestion though - cos its unlikely you'll spot the problem
This next might help - looking at the stack trace (and I don't know how ReadyAPI! stacktraces are logged) - sometimes I can see a problem in a stacktrace - sometimes I can't - but it mentions the following:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Name is not valid
at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Cursor.validateLocalName(Cursor.java:125)
at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Cursor._insertElementWithText(Cursor.java:1715)

at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.datasource.AbstractDataSource.saveConfig(AbstractDataSource.java:77)
so - I'm totally guessing here - interpreting the content in the stacktrace, it 'appears' to be that you created some object with a name it didn't like - perhaps on a datasource object. I'd go back to ReadyAPI! and look at each of the objects in your project (focusing first on Datasource type objects first just in case) and rename each object ensuring you haven't managed to insert an illegal character into a name - every so often - see if you can successfully hit save monitoring the stacktrace.
Overwrite all the names of every object in your project ensuring you haven't got any dodgy characters in there.
That's my best guess at fixing this
nice one,
