[news.eclipse.tools.ve] VE After Upgrade throws exception on open

["Bud Curtis" <bud.curtis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just upgraded VE, and when I open a previous visual edit developed class I
get the following exception in the Eclipse log.  Can someone suggest the
next step?  I have tried -clean and othere remedies, but nothing seems to
fix this one.
