Intellij – Unable to use newer Java 8 classes – Error : “Usage of API documented as @since 1.6+..”

Edited the answer based on Bastien Jansen comment.

Seems that there is another project setting that affects the compiler level. A subtle indication of this problem is when your compiler starts complaining of the source and target java version being different from the one you specified while you are compiling the code

Warning:java: source value 1.5 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release
Warning:java: target value 1.5 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release
Warning:java: To suppress warnings about obsolete options, use -Xlint:-options.

To get rid of this, you need to open up

File -> Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Modules -> "Your Module Name" -> Sources -> Language Level

and change that to the desired level i.e 1.8 or the Project Default language level
