Java : Spring : Source option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later

Today i just tried to build my first web Java application. I follow the instructions from this link: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.0.2.RELEASE/reference/html/getting-started-first-application.html

Everything looks good until i reach to step 10.4 ,  i got this error

[ERROR] Source option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
[ERROR] Target option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.

Some recommend that we need to add this in to tag
