When I do mvn clean install, I get this error:

annotations are not supported in -source 1.3 (try -source 1.5 to enable annotations)

But where do I put this -source 1.5 command? I tried all permutations with mvn clean install and couldn't get it to work. So I tried putting compilation in my pom, like this:

<build>
 <plugins>
   <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2</version>
    <configuration>
      <source>1.6</source>
      <target>1.6</target>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

But that didn't work either.. What am I missing? Thanks!
