You can build AIR applications easily with Flex using the beta of Flex Builder 3 but you can also build AIR applications with HTML.

You need the AIR SDK (again, from Adobe Labs) and a text editor (and access to the command line to run the adl and adt SDK programs to run and package AIR applications respectively).

Of course that might be a bit more work than you want to do. In which case, install Aptana - either standalone or as a plugin for Eclipse / Flex Builder - and then install the AIR plugin for Aptana. Now you simply create a new “Adobe AIR” project, fill out the application information wizard, select your JavaScript libraries (it assumes you are building an AJAX application) and off you go!
