java play framework override annotation failing with java.source=1.6

According to the document, http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.3/configuration#java

if I define java.source in conf/application.conf then I should be able to apply @Override annotations to methods that implement an interface, but I'm still getting compilation failures as though java. 1.5 is being used.

According to this page, http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.3/install

the version of java on the path will be used or the one at $JAVA_HOME if defined.

Both point to the same location which is jdk 6:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.8) (6b20-1.9.8-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)`

The error I'm getting is:

The file BotRegexComparator.java could not be compiled. Error raised is : The method compare(BotRegex, BotRegex) of type BotRegexComparator must override a superclass method

if you use a third party library which uses a Java version before 1.6, it won't work.
