Chris, I meant to reply earlier, but forgot.

The installer already downloads everything while displaying the required
licenses along the way.  Do you think having a "Mavenize" button at the end
would be a good idea?  We could just call your mavenize ant script from the
AIR app.  Please let me know if this is something you would be interested.
 I would be glad to help you out with this.

Thanks,
Om
