Hi, thanks a lot for your code.. but i have problem:
the program blocks in this line

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

and Netbeans show this exception error

Exception in thread "Twitter4J Async Dispatcher[0]" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

i think the problem caused by jar files included (may be not the same version)
can you please give us the correct jar files needed !

Thanks alot it worked for me, I am E Anil kumar working as Technical lead for the GIS projects
