Usage

$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.ardublock.Main"

Development

Change the /src/main/resources/com/ardublock/block/ardublock_def.xml to add new blocks to ArduBlock

$ mvn clean package

$ mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.ardublock.Main"

The Visual Block environment should show up. Happy Hacking! ;)
