When using a different JDK to compile (or any build, really), you need to specify a boot classpath if you want to ensure you're only linking against those APIs. It's possible, but until Maven adds better support for that, it might be hard to do.
That sniffer plugin, on the other hand, could be good. I know we've accidentally used 1.7 APIs in the past briefly. And I'm using 1.7 at work as well and am pushing for 1.8 as soon as all our dependencies are ready (waiting on the next version of Karaf; all the components themselves have updated to work properly with 1.8, but such is the life of working with higher level projects like that).
