generator-jhipster: Failed to use Angular CLI with new jHipster project

Overview of the issue

With v.4.13.3 jHipster generator and a freshly generated project, Angular CLI is not working properly :

λ ng g c toto --dry-run
Your global Angular CLI version (1.6.3) is greater than your local
version (1.6.0). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng set --global warnings.versionMismatch=false".

Motivation for or Use Case

Angular CLI is present on the package and should be used 😃

Reproduce the error

On jHipster 4.13.3, generate monolithic application and try to use Angular CLI.

Related issues

I found tons of open bugs about that, dealing with component versions. Hard to know what to do…

Suggest a Fix

• Update angular/cli to 1.6.3 does not work properly.
• I fix the problem removing the component from devDependencies… Not sure it’s the best way !
