Maven build causes VerifyError with java 1.7

I got one simple class with test case for it and everything works fine in eclipse, but when I run maven build (with this goals : install cobertura:cobertura checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregate) I'm seeing a Verify error in surefire report.

Here is the exact error :

This is the class :

public class ClassUnderTest {
    public static boolean method(int a, int b) {
        if ( a == b) {
            System.out.println("");
            return true;
        } 
        return false;
    }
}

And the test :

public class ClassUnderTestTest {

    @Test
    public void testMethodReturnsTrue() {
        assertTrue(ClassUnderTest.method(1, 1));
    }

    @Test
    public void testMethodReturnFalse() throws Exception {
        assertFalse(ClassUnderTest.method(1, 2));
    }

}

And pom.xml :

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

                    <testTarget>1.7</testTarget>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
  </build>
</project>

When setting the target to 1.5 this works but I need it to work with 1.7. More strange is that modifying the method to have only one return like this :

public class ClassUnderTest {
    public static boolean method(int a, int b) {
        if ( a == b) {
            System.out.println("");
        } 
        return false;
    }
}

also fixes the problem. I've tried setting the target and source version in properties block of pom, but the result was the same.

Is there a way to make this running on version 1.7?

EDIT : Also this problem appears only with goal cobertura:cobertura.

The problem seems to be in cobertura. Looks like it doesn't support java 1.7 very good. The fix was similar to the link that @Raghuram wrote for the eclipse. Modifying pom like this makes test works fine :

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                <version>2.12</version>
                <configuration>
                    <argLine>-XX:-UseSplitVerifier</argLine>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                <version>2.4</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.7</source>
                    <target>1.7</target>
                    <testSource>1.7</testSource>
                    <testTarget>1.7</testTarget>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
