Intellij not detecting appropriate Java version in Tycho/Maven build

I'm trying to migrate a Tycho/Maven project from Eclipse PDE to Intellij and i'm having trouble getting Intellij to use the appropriate java source versions. In particular, my MANIFEST.MF has Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.7, and my tycho-compiler-plugin has configuration -> [source|target] both equal to 1.7. The modules are imported into Intellij as maven projects with an OSGI facet.

Whenever I reimport the poms for the modules, it sets the language-level in the module to 1.5, which I understand to be the default. Where does Intellij pick op the project language level for these projects such that I can get it to detect the one I'd like?

Solution

  • Got same problem. Solved with adding to pom.xml:

      <properties>
     <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
     <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
  </properties>
