Doesn't compile with java 6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Try to build with Java 6.

At a minimum, it might be good to document the version of Java required and 
specify it in the pom. Thanks.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Env:

Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 01:44:56-0700)
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.6.0_51, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.8.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

You get this:
