Hello I've got a project that builds from my computer just fine, I however encountered this issue in the other environment (server) :
-----------------------------------------------------

This has to do something with maven complier plugin I assume, what could one do in this case?
Per Behe suggestion executed with -e :

I would suggest to run
mvn -v
to find out if you are using different Maven versions on the two machines.
In parallel I would suggest to upgrade to a newer version of the compiler plugin. 2.0.2 is VERY old. At least upgrade to 2.3.2 or even 2.5.1 if not the latest 3.0.
In addition I would specify source and target to the language level (e.g. Java 7 below) you need so you would end up with something like this
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
That should either fix it or at least give you more info into what to look at next.
I had a similar problem when doing maven clean.
it was using maven-clean-plugin version 2.2.
I added the following to my build and that solved the problem:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</plugin>
