Maven error - invalid source release: 8
I have a new, empty module which I'm trying to configure to use Maven (there are no dependencies yet).
I have Maven configured for targeting Java 8 and while this does correctly set the module language settings to 1.8, the Maven compilation still fails.
Note that the logging seems to indicate that it's using Java 7 for running Maven.
I have already set the Maven Runner to use my 1.8 SDK. Am I missing something else, or is this a bug?
Compilation works fine if I switch the pom file to target 1.7.
Thanks!

I'm using the latest version of IDEA 13, by the way.
You need to adjust your module SDK.
Go to "Project Settings / Modules / <YOUR MODULE> / Dependecies" and choose Module SDK (see attached screenshot)

That did it, thanks.
