Maven gives a java version error (ask for java 1.5) even when I have java 1.7 installed

I'm getting an error saying

(use -source 5 or higher to enable annotations) {class path} error: for-each loops are not supported in -source 1.3

when I try to compile a module using maven.

The thing is that the java version in my machine is 1.7.0_02

Can anyone suggest a solution?

The shortest version is to set maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target properties in your pom.xml:

<project>
   ....
   <properties>
       <maven.compiler.source>1.5</maven.compiler.source>
       <maven.compiler.target>1.5</maven.compiler.target>
   </properties>

You may want to include this in your pom.xml file as I had the same problem:

<build>
  <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
          <plugin>
              <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
              <version>2.3.2</version>
              <configuration>
                  <source>1.6</source>
                  <target>1.6</target>
                  <compilerArgument></compilerArgument>
              </configuration>
          </plugin>
      </plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
