Description Scott Lewis CLA 2010-10-17 14:41:22 EDT 
The TwitterRemoteServiceTest is failing in automated builds...apparently because of some issue with accessing the twitter API/service (possibly authentication/account in automated test environment, perhaps something changed in twitter service, etc).  

For an example of the test failures, see

Comment 1 Scott Lewis CLA 2010-10-17 14:41:49 EDT 
Would like to address for/before ECF 3.4.
Comment 2 Wim Jongman CLA 2010-10-20 17:13:12 EDT 
Hi, it seems that Twitter has removed its basic authentication per august 18, 2010. see http://apiwiki.twitter.com/

I'm investigating what this means for the REST call in the test.
Comment 3 Scott Lewis CLA 2010-10-20 23:21:59 EDT 
Fixed by making the test class abstract.  Released to master.
