Kshana for JetBrains IDEs

Install: Kshana — PNT simulator on the JetBrains Marketplace — or, in any JetBrains IDE, Settings → Plugins → Marketplace → search "Kshana".

A native plugin that runs the Kshana PNT-resilience simulator from inside any JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, CLion, RustRover, PyCharm, …). Right-click a scenario .toml → Run Kshana Scenario; the figures of merit and result JSON stream into the Kshana tool window.

Complements the MCP server (which gives JetBrains AI Assistant access to Kshana): this plugin is the human, point-and-click path.

What it does#

Run Kshana Scenario action on any .toml (editor + project-view context menus) — runs kshana <file> and shows the output in the Kshana tool window.
A bottom Kshana tool window hosting the run console.
Settings → Tools → Kshana to point at the kshana binary (blank → resolved from PATH; install with cargo install kshana).

The plugin is pure-platform (no language-specific dependencies), so it loads in every JetBrains IDE on build 243 (2024.3) and newer.

Build & run#

Requires JDK 17+ (the build pins JDK 21) and the bundled Gradle wrapper.

cd ide/jetbrains
./gradlew test          # unit tests (pure CLI helpers)
./gradlew buildPlugin    # assembles build/distributions/kshana-jetbrains-<version>.zip
./gradlew runIde         # launches a sandbox IDE with the plugin loaded
./gradlew verifyPlugin   # JetBrains plugin-verifier compatibility check (downloads IDEs)

Install the built zip via Settings → Plugins → ⚙ → Install Plugin from Disk….

Isolation#

Like mcp/ and xval/, this is a standalone Gradle project, excluded from the published kshana crate (/ide in the package exclude); its build output is gitignored.
