Looks like maven-compiler-plugin has default 5 source and target options.
You must set explicit values to that options.
Something like this:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1</version>
  <configuration>
  <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
  <source>1.7</source>
  <target>1.7</target>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
