ClassCastException in application model editor

Application Model Editor displays a ClassCastException (CCE) when creating a new E4 Application project. 

This error happen after installing the platformUiTools.p2f as described in contributor's guide[2].

Steps to reproduce: 

1. download Eclipse SDK I-Build (i.e. I20150407-0800 [1]) 
2. install platformUiTools.p2f as described in [2]
3. create a new E4 Application project

This issue prevents contributors to provide contributions, so I put Severity = major.

You have a too old version of the tool installed!
Comment 3 Patrik Suzzi CLA 2015-04-07 17:57:18 EDT
Your statement is correct. 

The platformUiTools.p2f uses the version 0.16.0

The stable new version is 0.17.0 

I replaced the old version in platformUiTools.p2f with the new version, and now the install works as described in [2]
