Maven defaults to Java 1.4 source and target. You have to tell it to use 
Java 5 or Java 6.
See 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html

See also 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#source
So you can have:
<properties>
<maven.compiler.source>1.6</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.6</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
