@DAC-liangyi can you please elaborate a bit more on your issue? I did not gather any experience using the DevLoader and stuff since I adopted the maintenance of the Eclipse Tomcat Plugin.

My description is too simple,sorry.

Steps to reproduce the problem as follows:

1.Tomcat project -> properties->Tomcat->DevLoader classpath
a.Activate devloader checkon
b.checkon more than one webClassPathEntry
2.Start tomcat by tomcat plugin
3.And than,the file named of .#webclasspath will be created automatically.
The content of the .#webclasspath file is the list of webClassPathEntries which has been selected by me.
4.Stop the tomcat.
5.Tomcat project -> properties->Tomcat->DevLoader classpath
a.Keep Activate devloader checkon
b.Make all the webClassPathEntries unchecked
6.Restart tomcat by tomcat plugin
And than the content of .#webclasspath file is the same as the first time.

Previously,I used tomcat plugin v331,when I done the steps as described above,.#webclasspath was going to be cleared.

Okay, thank you for your detailed description. I will have a try on reproducing the issue.

Seems you have found a long existing bug. I fixed it by always deleting the file on tomcat start. The fix will go live with the next release.

Release has been pushed to update site.
