Working on Twitter4J(again)

It's been quite hectic last three month and I was unable to hack ready Java library for the Twitter API which is released under the BSD license.

Twitter4J 2.1.3 is now available for download.

This version is also available in the Maven central repository.
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/twitter4j/
You can also use the snapshot repository.

And here I am. I'll be handling a bunch of backlogs in a week and am going to bring Twitter4J to the next level.
Stay tuned!
