For many developers working with IntelliJ IDEA, the “Save Actions” plugin has long been a trusted companion for maintaining consistent and clean codebases. By automatically performing configurable actions on file save—such as optimizing imports, reformatting code, rearranging members, or applying small quick fixes—the plugin helps ensure that projects stay uniform across entire teams.
After the original development of “Save Actions” came to a halt several years ago, the plugin risked falling out of compatibility with newer IntelliJ versions. To prevent this, XDEV Software stepped in as the dedicated maintainer and continues to provide updates and maintenance releases through the JetBrains Marketplace. The goal has remained simple: to keep the plugin functional, compatible, and stable for the growing developer community that relies on it.
As of November 2025, the “Save Actions” plugin has surpassed 275,000 downloads, reflecting its continued popularity among Java and Kotlin developers who appreciate automated formatting and cleanup routines. Configuration files can still be shared within teams, ensuring a consistent coding style across different environments.
The plugin’s source code and documentation are openly available on GitHub, allowing the community to contribute improvements and suggest enhancements. This ongoing maintenance demonstrates how open-source projects can remain valuable and relevant when the community or new contributors take responsibility for sustaining them.
