I just got CS5 master suite which includes Flash Builder 4 and Flash CS5 Pro.
When I create a new AIR app in CS5 pro it says "AIR 2" but when I create a new AIR project in Flash Builder I do not see anything indicating that it is AIR 2 or 1.5?
Is there a way to tell which AIR runtime it is using?
I think you'll have to download the SDK and st it up yourself; but Flash Builder should work fine:

How to overlay the Adobe AIR SDK for use with the Flex SDK
- Copy the contents an existing Flex SDK folder to a new folder. For example, in Flex Builder, copy the following folder located at: * Windows: c:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0 * Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/3.2.0
- Download the appropriate AIR SDK file for your operating system and save it to the root folder of the Flex SDK. * Windows: AIR20_win_sdk_XXXXXX.zip * Mac OS: AIR20_mac_sdk_XXXXXX.tbz2
Extract the contents of the AIR SDK archive and overwrite the existing SDK files in the copied folder. * Windows: Right-click on the ZIP file and select "Extract All" or use the decompression tool of your choice. * Mac OS: In Terminal, cd to the root folder of the Flex SDK and run this command: * tar jxvf AIR20_mac_sdk_XXXXXX.tbz2
If you have trouble overwriting files due to filepermissions, try this command sudo tar jxvf AIR20_mac_sdk_XXXXXX.tbz2
In Flex or Flash Builder, open the Properties dialog and choose the Flex Compiler page
- Click the Configure Flex SDKs... link
- Add the combined Flex and AIR 2 SDK folder created above
- Use this SDK for any projects accessing AIR 2 APIs.
To update this for the production release; go downlod your preferred version of the Flex SDK at http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Downloads and download the AIR 2 SDK at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=airsdk .
Overlay the two using the instructions above (1-3); then configure the new SDK in Flash Builder (also using the instructions above (4-7).
Update: Since my original post of this; Flex 4.1 SDK was released which includes the relevant AIR 2 bits. You can get it here
The fastest way to use AIR 2 is to download a new version of the Flex framework. I've downloaded version 4.1.0.16076 from here and it comes with AIR 2 already installed.
Today Adobe release the stable version of AIR 2 SDK so probably they come up with a new stable release of the Flex SDK.
