Here is my solution using twitter4j lib

            Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();

            AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(accessTokenStr, accessTokenSecretStr);
            twitter.setOAuthConsumer(consumerKeyStr, consumerSecretStr);
            twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken);

            try {
                Query query = new Query("#");
                QueryResult result;
                result = twitter.search(query);
                List tweets = result.getTweets();
                for (Status tweet : tweets) {
                    System.out.println("@" + tweet.getUser().getScreenName() + " - " + tweet.getText());
                }
            }
            catch (TwitterException te) {
                te.printStackTrace();
                System.out.println("Failed to search tweets: " + te.getMessage());
                System.exit(-1);
            }
