Setting JAVA_HOME may not be enough. You should check in Workspace and/or Project Preferences which JDKs are actually visible. * Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs * On project, Right-click > Properties > Java Build Path. Make sure content of Library tab shows a valid JRE. If not, add it with the 'Add Library" button It could indeed be a bug in the documentation. If you think so, please open a bug  on issues.jboss.org. Posted by forums Original post: https://community.jboss.org/message/862619#862619

Your pom.xml file probably does not specify any version thus it is targeting Java 5 by default. Make sure your compiler settings in your pom.xml is correct. i.e. {code:jivemacro_uid=_13951458251298991|class=jive_text_macro jive_macro_code _jivemacro_uid_13951458251298991}<build>    <plugins>    <plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>    <version>2.3.2</version>    <configuration>    <source>1.6</source>    <target>1.6</target>    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>    </configuration>    </plugin>    </plugins> </build>{code} (as described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11291727/java-compiler-level-does-not-...)
