Please check below code :

            .newInstance(BFF_CONSUMER_KEY, BFF_CONSUMER_SECRET);
            final LinkedInApiClient client = factory
            .createLinkedInApiClient(accessToken);

  Set<ProfileField> fields = EnumSet.of(ProfileField.ID,
          ProfileField.FIRST_NAME, ProfileField.LAST_NAME,ProfileField.CONNECTIONS);
