The rp5 popup menu
Use this menu to run/watch your sketch (the current buffer), you only need to enter the path to the rp5 executable once (this, the choice of run/watch, and the checkbox setting are ‘remembered’ for you). The filename of the current buffer is displayed for your convenience and need not be entered. You can use the Commands tab to see what commands get sent (eg checked jruby-complete, inserts --nojruby flag). You can also check JRubyArt version and configuration using version remember to change back to run or watch though.
