When I open BPEL project, work with them and closing it, file catalog.xml is required to be saved, whereas the file is not touched manually.
fixed in gfesbv22: 71861bac2e11
It is not required to save the catalog.xml file anymore. This is verified to work correctly in CAPS 63 M5 build (20101103-1248). This issue can be closed.
