maven. lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.5

by

By default, Maven assumes you wrote your code using JDK 1.5 and that you want to compile to that same target. You will need to add the maven-compiler-plugin to your build plugins, in order to tell it to use 1.8.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.3</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.8</source>
                <target>1.8</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Check out the plugin’s docs for more info: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html
