Adding below to pom.xml will help resolve the issues: 1. Maven compiler source and target as a child of <project> ``` <properties> <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target> </properties> ``` 2. JAXB dependency ``` <dependency> <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId> <version>2.3.0</version> </dependency> ```
