UPDATE: here is my maven-compiler-plugin configuration:
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
2.3.2
1.6
1.6
I work on a multi-project application that I build with Maven. We decided to add AspectJ so I added the following code to pom.xml in the top level project: (from the official documentation)
...
...
org.aspectj
aspectjrt
1.7.3
...
...
org.codehaus.mojo
aspectj-maven-plugin
1.5
compile
test-compile
...
...
and the following fragments to each subordinate projects:
...
....
...
org.codehaus.mojo
aspectj-maven-plugin
...
org.aspectj
aspectjrt
....
...
Somehow this modification has overridden the Java version I use. If I run build I get multiple errors like this:
Syntax error, annotations are only available if source level is 1.5 or greater
That gives me the suspicion that my Java version (originally 1.6) was somehow reverted to 1.4. I did nothing - at least not knowingly - that could influence the Java version, so I suspect that the above mentioned AspectJ related code is responsible for the change.
My question is how can AspectJ change the Java version and what should I do to fix this problem. Or do I misunderstand something completely and am I on the wrong track?

I think the problem is with the default source, target and complianceLevel settings of the aspectj-maven-plugin (according to the documentation linked previously, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.4 respectively). You should set these explicitly in your parent pom:
org.codehaus.mojo
aspectj-maven-plugin
1.5
1.6
1.6
1.6
compile
test-compile
