Same problem exists on Neon 4.6.3 and Mars 4.5.2

Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3) Build id: 20170314-1500
Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2) Build id: 20160218-0600
Tomcat 8.5.14
Tomcat Plugin 9.1.2 (DevLoaderTomcat85.jar)
Windows 10 (build 10240)

It seems that any UPDATE for a string properties from "Tomcat Project Panel->General Tab" being ignored. Applies to: webapplication root (optional), web applciation work (optional), context name.

During CREATION only context name is actually used, the rest: webapplication root (optional) - ignored and project folder used, web applciation work (optional) - always defaults to /work.

Note: Both above mentioned setups work fine with opriginal sysdeo plugin and Tomcat 7.x

I get the same issue in Oxygen Release (4.7.0)
Build id: 20170620-1800

Changes to webapplication root (optional) and web applciation work (optional) are reset to "blank" and "work" respectively.

Also, everytime I click apply a new "Loader" tag gets added to the context xml file.

<loader classname="org.apache.catalina.loader.DevLoader" reloadable="true" debug="1" usesystemclassloaderasparent="false"></loader>
