I think it's because maven's java compiler defaults to 1.3, and that version doesn't support generic types.

Adding the following lines into pom.xml should help:

<build>
    ...
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
