This is an issue relating JRE.In my case (eclipse Luna with Maven plugin, JDK 7) I solved this by making following change in pom.xml and then Maven Update Project.
from:
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
to:
<configuration>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
</configuration>
