Maven build fails on Ubuntu 12.04, JDK1.7

Question

My maven build is fine on Windows machine but fails with compilation error on Ubuntu.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2:compile (default-compile) on project [XXX]: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

I already tried building it on java 1.6 and changing java to oracle-7-JDK...

Error stays the same.

Can you help me?

EDIT

I have installed Oracle JDK according to provided instructions

Now it looks like this:

java -version

Build still fails with the same error message

Update your pom file to use an up-to-date maven-compiler-plugin version (you are using 2.0.2 extremly old).

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.1</version>
          <configuration>
            <!-- put your configurations here -->
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
  </build>
  ...
</project>
