Changing Dynamic Web Module version in Eclipse Maven Project

I\'m trying to set up Dynamic Web Module 3.0 in order to support Java 6 development. I\'m getting this error in my Problems tab of eclipse whenever I do Maven > Update

Answer 1

you can add this to the pom.xml:

    
        
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-compiler-plugin
        3.1
        
            1.7
            1.7
        
    
    

Works in Spring STS 3.6.3 :)
