Answer 1

You need to make a OAuthSignpostClient, then get the user to authenticate it, and then use

Twitter jtwit = new Twitter(userName, myOAuthClient);

Answer 2

Your exception says itself:

You need to switch to OAuth. Twitter no longer support basic authentication.

I suppose twitter has now stopped support for basic authentication and you might look at Twitter OAuth
