Twitter4j and authenticating to Twitter

Question

For the moment I'm just trying to get up a simple driver in Java to hook into the Twitter streaming API and gather some tweets. But the sample code provided on the twitter4j site doesn't work and it provides little direction as to how to properly authenticate to Twitter.

For now this is what I have (literally copied from the site):

I did it programmatically this time, but obviously it doesn't authenticate with nothing but *'s. But I'm not sure what values to put into the ConfigurationBuilder. I've seen some that have hardcoded values and others that call a getter from a Twitter instance, but in general I'm just not sure what Twitter needs for me to be able to access the stream.

Use Scribe -

Answer 2

You need to use OAuth to access twitter programmaticly. You should start with the Twitter OAuth docs:
