Your Maven is reading Java version as 1 6 0 65  Where as the pom xml says the version is 1 7   Try installing the required verison   If already installed check your  JAVA HOME environment variable  it should contain the path of Java JDK 7  If you dont find it  fix your environment variable   also remove the lines     lt fork gt true lt  fork gt        lt executable gt   JAVA 1 7 HOME  bin javac lt  executable gt    from the pom xml
