Getting started with plugins, get ClassCastException

Please make sure that you DON'T distribute any IDEA libraries together
with your plugin. If you have openapi.jar in your plugin's library
folder then the ProjectComponent interface is loaded from there and
clashes with the one loaded by IDEA.

By the way:
You don't have to specify a interface-class in plugin.xml if it's
identical to the implementation-class.

My plugin class implements ProjectComponent:
