While digging around the spark source today I discovered it depends on version 3.0.3 of twitter4j. This version was released on dec 2 2012. I noticed that the current version is 4.0.4 and was released on 6/23/2015
I am not aware of any particular problems. Are they any plans to upgrade? What is the spark policy on upgrading dependencies in general? Kind regards Andy https://github.com/yusuke/twitter4j/releases http://twitter4j.org/en/index.html#sourceCode Maven Integration You can integrate the latest Twitter4J build easily by just including the following lines in your pom.xml. <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.twitter4j</groupId> <artifactId>twitter4j-core</artifactId> <version>[4.0,)</version> </dependency> ... </dependencies>
