I did some research.... never configured jenkins/hudson before.... but it looks like if we change the reactor POM from <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> <target>1.5</target> <compilerArgument>-Xlint</compilerArgument> </configuration> </plugin> to <source>1.7</source> <target>1.7</target> and make sure 1.7 is actually on the server, JAVA_HOME is set and java 1.7 is on the PATH, it should be fairly straight forward If you have any experience/advice let me know if this makes sense or not.
