Eclipse autosave workspace

Question

Is there a plugin for Eclipse which would automatically save the eclipse workspace every say 5 minutes in the background because every time eclipse crashes the entire workspace layout reverts or open files gets lost, and it is quite annoying at this point.

Answer 1

Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace
There is a box for the "Workspace save interval". But I am not sure that this is the thing you're looking for.
