I promote Netbeans IDE to friends and colleagues... One feature that Java people tell me about with intelliJ is that you never have to save a file.. It saves it when you lose focus or tab to another file (I guess ?)... Textmate has a similar plugin.. It would be great to have this as an option
Created attachment 70924 [details] Module providing auto-save behavior
Thanks for the idea. This was trivial to write (just 5-10 lines) so I checked it into the contrib/ area. I have attached an NBM to this issue which you can install via the plugin manager. (Checked in as contrib/autosave, by changeset 4254ba5c0d7d.) I assume what you really want is for this to be a standard option in the IDE. That won't happen for 6.5 (we're way past feature freeze) but I'm reassigning to the editor so they can track it there and decide what to do about it.
There is already an AutoSave module on AU somewhere, though I'm not sure where it is hosted from; I have had it installed for a long time and I don't remember. BTW Tor - your Bundle.properties has some stale keys copied from some other module. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 7067 ***
Hi guys, I will implement it for plugin http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=2404 I am thinking to publish it at contrib repository, do you see any problem about it? I hope to be possible to rewrite the tor module and create property to user define if want or not use this feature, since it can be painful for people who use CoS feature. Regards
I think that would be great. Probably better to add comments to the original issue #7067.

Hi all. Autosave when files loses focus is a very useful thing for developer, and I ask you to consider the possibility to integrate it directly in NB 8.x core. Autosave when files loses focus was realized as a NB plugin extension from Michel Graciano: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/37077/autosave-module-for-6-9-and-later This plugin is no longer maintained, as it seems to me. It is still available, but I think that this very useful behaviour for developer can be easily integrated into NB editor core. So I reopen this issue to ask NB core team to consider this possibility: integrate this behaviour directly into NB core ( I think it should be a very easy task ), to avoid the lack of functionality due to NB plugin maintenance.
