Maven Build failure, How to change -source 1.5 to -source 7 or higher for maven in eclipse

I have a Maven project in Eclipse. While building its showing error: 

--- maven-clean-plugin:2.5:clean (default-clean) @ DataMasking ---
[INFO] Deleting D:\workspaces\Datamasking\DataMasking\target
[INFO] 
[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.6:resources (default-resources) @ 
DataMasking ---

resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!

Code at when Error is pointing. Generally is shown compile error in eclipse and suggested to change project compile to JavaSE-1.7 and I have changed. It is not showing any red line in Eclipse while Maven build is showing error.

try (FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(filesPath + "DataMaskOutput.txt", true);
        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(bw)) {
    out.println(applId + "-->" + updateApplSeedNbr);
    out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

As per maven-compiler-plugin docs you can use the <properties> in the pom.xml:

<project>
  ...
  <properties>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
  </properties>
  ...
</project>
