I am a fan of the portableapps system and have been for several years. I have begun to mess around with web development, adobe air, and android development. I have several portable apps that I use for this.
1) Eclipse Portable - Java, Adobe Air, HTML IDE. Not the latest version but certainly adequate for some of the development I am doing.
2) Mozilla Firefox Portable - This is the browser that I use to preview HTML coding.
3) Inkscape Portable - Open source SVG graphics editor. Useful for logos.
4) IcoFX Portable - an icon creation/editing tool.
5) ColorPic - Get the color codes for any pixel on your screen.
6) FotoGrafix Portable - an image editor. Useful for combing images, resizing images, and touchups.
I find these apps quite helpful in my daily development work.

Building and deploying AIR apps in Eclipse using HTML and Javascript
Here is the setup I use for developing, building, and deploying Adobe air apps in Eclipse. I have the following installed on a USB drive:
1) Eclipse portable: Eclipse SDK Version: 3.7.2
2) Adobe AIR SDK
I create my project as a General project. Here is the structure I use:
cSS File Folder
inc File Folder - javascripts
page2.html
The must follow items are in red. The other items can really be named whatever you like. To use my external run configurations the project structure has to have the items in red above. The advantage to following this structure is I do not have to create a new external run config for each new project. Here's a "Hello World" project structure to illustrate the above.
When I am ready to test the app in AIR I use the following external run configuration:
Before running this configuration, you must select the ProjectName-app.xml file.
When I want to generate a certificate I use the following run configuration:
The certificate file cert.p12 will be in the base workspace directory.
To build the project as an AIR app for windows, I use the following run configuration:
Once again, before running this configuration, you must select the ProjectName-app.xml file.
When using these external run configurations, the most frequent error is caused by not selecting the ProjectName-app.xml file first.
