how is jtwitter OAuth switching?

Question

Here is my code:

 import winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter;
    import winterwell.jtwitter.*;
    import java.util.List;


public class twitterbagla {

    private static final String username="blabla";
    private static final String password="xx";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Twitter twitter=new Twitter (username,password);
        System.out.println(twitter.getStatus("hah"));
        //System.out.println(twitter.getFollowers());

        twitter.setStatus("hello world something");
        List<User> followers=twitter.getFollowers();
        for(User user : followers){
            System.out.println(user.getName());

        }


    }

}

and here is console

It's amazing to me that the best things in life are steps forward that come with negative assumptions. Exception in thread "main" winterwell.jtwitter.TwitterException$UpdateToOAuth: You need to switch to OAuth. Twitter no longer support basic authentication. at winterwell.jtwitter.URLConnectionHttpClient.processError(URLConnectionHttpClient.java:369) at winterwell.jtwitter.URLConnectionHttpClient.post2(URLConnectionHttpClient.java:303) at winterwell.jtwitter.URLConnectionHttpClient.post(URLConnectionHttpClient.java:272) at winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.updateStatus(Twitter.java:2593) at winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.updateStatus(Twitter.java:2519) at winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.setStatus(Twitter.java:2291) at twitterbagla.main(twitterbagla.java:16)

What exactly is unclear about that error? It's obviously that you should switch to OAuth.. — Rob, Oct 21 '11 at 07:19

See the documentation at http://www.winterwell.com/software/jtwitter.php

You want to create an OAuthSignpostClient. There's then an authorisation step with Twitter (you can store the resulting tokens to reuse later).

Then use new Twitter(name, oauthClient) to create your Twitter instance.
