RobotBuilder overwriting Java Commands

I updated the wpilib plugins, and the latest update seems to have introduced a major bug into RobotBuilder. If I modify the "extends Command" part of the class declaration for Commands, RobotBuilder overwrites the entire file. This bug is not triggered by adding comments to the beginning of the line, or by changing the visibility of the class. It only occurs when the base class is changed, or the class implements an interface.

I use a ParameterCommand base class for many of our commands, which allows me to set parameters from the SmartDashboard, so this bug is a very big problem for me. All the classes that extend ParameterCommand were overwritten the first time I regenerated the code after updating the Eclipse plugins.

There is also the possibility that this is not a new bug, because I may have not previously regenerated the code after adding the ParameterCommand
code.

Does anyone where I can get the earlier plugins, because the old versions are immediately removed from the update site when an update is released?

EDIT: This bug was not introduced in the latest update, it has been around for a while.
