How to output my recent tweets via twitter4j?

Question

I'm trying my first ever code project with Twitter4J (just for fun), in which it should show the five most recent tweets of my user timeline. I found this code online and have updated it with my personal data, but it keeps throwing this exception:

403: The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why. This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits (https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364-about-twitter-limits-update-api-dm-and-following). {"errors":[{"message":"SSL is required","code":92}]} Relevant discussions can be on the Internet at: http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=e5488403 TwitterException{exceptionCode=[e5488403-0cac370f], statusCode=403, retryAfter=-1, rateLimitStatus=null, featureSpecificRateLimitStatus=null, version=2.2.5}

Any ideas on why it isn't working? I'm still very new to this and would love advice.

import twitter4j.Paging;
import twitter4j.ResponseList;
import twitter4j.Status;
import twitter4j.Twitter;
import twitter4j.TwitterFactory;
import twitter4j.auth.*;

public final class ReadTweets {

/**
 * Main method.
 *
 * @param args
 *            the command line arguments; unused here
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
    //consumer key and consumer secret
    twitter.setOAuthConsumer("---", "---");
    //access token and access token secret
    twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(new AccessToken("---", "---"));

    try {
        ResponseList<Status> a = twitter.getHomeTimeline(new Paging(1,5));
        for (Status b : a) {
            System.out.println(b.getText());
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
    }

  }
}

add http.useSSL=true at twitter4j.properties or upgrade your twitter4j to latest version. using ConfigurationBuilder

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    ConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
    configurationBuilder.setDebugEnabled(true);
    configurationBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey(YOURCONSUMER_KEY);
    configurationBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(YOURCONSUMER_SECRET);
    configurationBuilder.setOAuthAccessToken(YOURACCESSTOKEN);
    configurationBuilder.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(YOURTOKENSECRET);
    configurationBuilder.setUseSSL(true);
    Configuration configuration = configurationBuilder.build();
    Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(configuration).getInstance();
    try {
        ResponseList<Status> a = twitter.getHomeTimeline(new Paging(1, 5));
        for (Status b : a) {
            System.out.println(b.getText());
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
    }
}
