(I think this hasn't been answered anywhere yet)

This is because the category.xml support in Tycho is far beyond what is in PDE at the moment: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/category.xml says "There are extensions to the format only supported by p2 and Tycho."

It may be nice if the PDE editor didn't delete what it doesn't understand though :-)

Please open a bug for these cases or add me to the bug. We have to fix that.

I added you - in case anyone else wants to add themself: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=566340
