I wonder if there is a way to tell to the IDE to autosave any file if modified. I\'ve searched the web but I haven\'t find anything. There was a module on NetBeans 7 but it
I downloaded the below netbeans plugin. It will automatically save after every 1 second once installed. it was built for Netbeans 8.1 and not tested for the version 8.2 but it worked for me.
Netbeans 8.2 AutoSave Download Link
Install in Netbeans via Tools > Plugins > Downloaded and click on add "Add plugins..." button
This plugin also saves when the file loses focus: Plugin
I would also prefer something like IntelliJ's Android Studio, but I don't think it exists for Netbeans.
