I'm getting the error: annotations are not supported in version 1.3 when I do a mvn clean instal. However in my pom.xml I have 

<build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.1</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <source>1.5</source>
                        <target>1.5</target>
                    </configuration>
                    <dependencies>
                        <dependency>
                            <groupId>x.y</groupId>
                            <artifactId>z</artifactId>
                            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
                        </dependency>
                    </dependencies>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>

So it seems to be ignoring my source and target version for some reason. Does anyone have any idea why this is occuring?

Most probably the compile goal is failing.

The missing piece of config you need is this:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <source>1.5</source>
    <target>1.5</target>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>
