IntelliJ Idea Astor Plugin is a plugin that integrates Astor in Intellij Idea. It communicates with a local/remote program repair backend with gRPC framework. An running backend is required https://github.com/bc2021-program-repair/java-program-repair-backend

What does this plugin do?

This plugin creates a set of Actions, i.e. items in main menu, and a tool window that shows the analysis progress. While clicking the Execute Astor action, it communicates with the backend Astor with gRPC with arguments generated from project settings. The logging and stdout are forwarded to the tool window so you can see the real time progress. Then the astor output are analyzed, cleansed and displayed as a Diff window
