Netbeans Autosave

Okay, so I am writing a multipart program, which in this case means that it is worthless to compile until the project is almost completely finished. I was working for a few hours, and it has been a relatively chilly morning, around the low 60's to high 50's, so I opted not to give an air pocket between the laptop and my lap. After a few hours of wonderful comfort and warmth, the high-quality fans on the compaq realized they couldn't keep up with the heat, and shut down to prevent hardware failure. And there went about 45 minutes of work right there. Not much to some, but that was an intense 45 min, and I don't have that much time to spare. Solution? Implement autosaving in netbeans. How? Somebody wrote a plugin to do it for me.
