The Ruby Environment to use. Continua includes default property collectors to find ruby.exe and jruby.exe.
The Using drop down is populated with any property collector whose namespace matches the pattern defined by the Rake action. The pattern for this action is ^ruby\.runtime\..*
If you create a property collector for this action, make sure you select the Path Finder PlugIn type and give it a name that will match the pattern above in blue. Example names listed here, search the table's Plugin column for "Rake".
For more in-depth explanations on property collectors see Property Collectors.
