With all the buzz around Twitter these days, it's no surprise that we see new clients popping up everywhere - on our desktops, the web and as mobile applications. While some applications are done quite well, it can be difficult to find the one that has the features that you want. But like all software developers, you have a choice - you can go ahead and build one of your own. That's where  Twitter4J fits in.

I first became aware of Twitter4J as I was working on my Twitter client using ECF.  No matter what feature I needed from Twitter, it was supported in Twitter4J. Of course, you can integrate into any Java application from version 1.4.2, and there's also support for the Android platform. In this article i'm going to give a brief overview of how to use the framework to connect to, and use, Twitter.  With the basic building blocks that the library provides, you can create your own rich Twitter interface.

Getting Started

It couldn't be easier to get going with this library - simply download the latest version, and add the core library to your classpath.
