ECE497 Project: Twitter Java Application

Team members: David Zitnik

Executive Summary

For my final project I would like to develop and compile Java code on the BeagleBoard to create an application for Twitter that allows a user to sign in from the Beagle and post tweets using the Java Twitter API called Twitter4J.

Currently I have a graphical interface built using the Java Swing library.

I haven't been able to communicate with the twitter servers to pull down a current status or to post a new one.

Installation Instructions

Install the Java Development Kit on the beagle opkg install openjdk-6-jdk

User Instructions

I compile and run my code on the beagle using the Open JDK6 and using the commands assuming the file Main.java has my main method in it:

Compiling .java files in directory javac <filename>.java

Or compiling all .java files at once javac *.java

Running the application java Main

Theory of Operation

Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.
