THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
If you don't want to build an application but a library to share functionality among multiple applications, you have to create an "swc" library.
Flexmojos comes with an archetype for libraries too.
In order to create a library application with the archetype, issue the following command:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=net.flexmojos.oss -DarchetypeArtifactId=flexmojos-archetypes-library -DarchetypeVersion=7.1.0
Same as with the application archetype you have to provide some settings. As soon as they are provided, the build should look similar to this:

So now you'll find a directory "my-first-flex-library" containing the project.
In order to build the project do this:
cd my-first-flex-library mvn install
You should see something similar to this:

bash-3.2$
The built library is available in the "target" directory. So if you open the file "my-first-flex-library-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.swc".
If you are encountering problems in this step please have a look at the page: Preparing FDKs for Maven builds and Preparing your environment as probably these will help you sort out the problems.
Having a look at the details
For the details please have a look at the Your first Flex application document. The only main difference is the different packaging of type "swc" which makes Flexmojos create a Flash library.
