1. Runtime
2. Air 2.0 beta SDK (installed on top of Flex SDK)
3. New app.xml descriptor namespace which is

xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0beta"

But if you want to launch a native app from air, they forgot to mention in the documentation that you need to add

<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop</supportedProfiles>

to the same xml.

Now if you check

NativeProcess.isSupported

you should get true, which means you can run a native app. You don’t have to be packaging your air app throught ADT or do anything else to see this boolean to be true. It should work in FlexBuilder straight away. Packaging it up is probably a good material for another post. Hope that helps.
