Right now, I am using a library java library:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.linkedin-j</groupId>
<artifactId>linkedin-j-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0.429</version>
</dependency>

bUT this does not work anymore. I the library is using deprecated API : 

/v1/people/~/current-status

and whenever ran it throws exception as follows:

Exception in thread "main" com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.LinkedInApiClientException: Unsupported PUT target {/v1/people/~/current-status}

So I look-up at LinkedIn documentation for new updates, BUT could NOT find the appropriate documentation for publishing user current profile status...

https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/profile-api

Current code that stopped working is similar as follows using LinkedInJ:

LinkedInApiClientFactory factory = LinkedInApiClientFactory.newInstance(getApiKey(), getSecretApiKey());
LinkedInAccessToken accessToken = new LinkedInAccessToken(promotion.getAccessToken(), promotion.getSecretAccessToken());
LinkedInApiClient client = factory.createLinkedInApiClient(accessToken);
client.updateCurrentStatus("my status message");

How to post STATUS UPDATES on LinkedIn via its api?

    This question appears to be off-topic because it is a customer support request, not a question about a programming problem. See [this meta post](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/255745/why-were-not-customer-suppo‌​rt-for-your-favorite-company) for more information. – Ffisegydd Dec 30 '14 at 22:42

Read your own question.

I the library is using deprecated API :

deprecated means that it is no longer supported, which is concurrent with the error message you're receiving:

Unsupported PUT target {/v1/people/~/current-status}

This means that the deprecated lib you're using has a function updateCurrentStatus but under the covers the API endpoint the request is being made to doesn't support the PUT verb.

To get rid of that error you need to add the linked-j jar in your build path. Here is the link to download the jar http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/l/Downloadlinkedinjjar.htm

My issue was solved after adding the jar.
