While there is no support to automatically package a qooxdoo application
as an AIR app (it used to be an early experimental feature), you can
still, of course, create qooxdoo-based AIR apps manually.
Due to changes of the AIR security model (a long time ago) you'd have to
run your qooxdoo app in the "non-application sandbox" (i.e. within an
iframe). In that setup the runtime evaluation of JS code like you
noticed still works. Unlike the "privileged application sandbox" you'd
have to setup a so-called "bridge" so that you could still call certain
AIR APIs from your qooxdoo code. That is well documented in the AIR
docs, but you'll need to be careful about security implications, being
as restrictive as possible.
Other than the Adobe AIR platform, which IMHO didn't live up to the
expectations, I would suggest to look into a similar, but more powerful,
open-source solution: Titanium Desktop:
