After doing some further digging I've found we're using a very old (2.0.2) version of the maven-compiler-plugin. This is over 6 years old and predates Java 7. Apparently nobody (including me) thought to try upgrading it. The release we have here does work, in that it prevents a compiler warning that was being interpreted as an error. On the other hand there are still other warnings that break the build. I'm happy do do some rework/respin upgrading the maven-compiler plugin, or to go with the solution we have.
