Hi Johannes For a long time, i was facing the same issue. But i finally got the solution. If you are using maven version 3.0.4 or above, then certainly your code will compile in 1.7. Just add the below two properties in the <properties> section of your project Pom file.
<maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target> The code will compile fine in 1.7. Please see the below link for further info. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8750563/maven-doesnt-use-java-7 P.S : If you are using maven version prior to 3.0.4 version, than there will be a compilation issue. So, better you update your maven version.
