Note:

• schema.xml from tweets should be replaced with resources/schema.xml from project dir

• Create resources/twitter4j.properties with your twitter oauth credentials, contents should be as follows:

  debug=true
  oauth.consumerKey=
  oauth.consumerSecret=
  oauth.accessToken=
  oauth.accessTokenSecret=
