Re: [platform-ui-dev] M2 is next week and some experiences with Android Studio

Mickael, of course if we introduce such a feature there would be an option to turn it in or of.

I fall in the same camp. Originally, I disliked auto-save, until I
realized that I anyhow press CTRL+S all the time without thinking
about it. And I rely on CTRL+Z to undo everything, if I made an error.
What I fear the most with autosave in Eclipse is how it would interact with the debugger. I always use "Debug As..." and modify code on the running application because it reduces significantly the feedback loop over a restart, and I often hit breakpoints. Usually, I do modify code is several classes when breakpoint is hit and save only when I believe my changes are good enough to update the classes in my running application. Before I save, my code is often bad, showing red crosses and so on, I wouldn't like this code to be injected in my application under development.
With auto-save, I believe we would lost this workflow, which is IMHO the ideal workflow for a Java developer.
