This is really a Maven question, not a Maven on Eclipse (M2E) question, and
probably better asked on us...@maven.apache.org
However, the reason is simply that Maven defaults to JDK 1.5. To change it,
you'll want something like the following in your pom.xml ...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
which configures the compiler plugin to use JDK 1.6
