Twitter4j - Bad Authentication data. code - 215

I am newbie with Twitter4J API. I am looking to validate my access, but I can't.

public class Buscador { 
public static void main(String [] args) throws TwitterException{

    ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
     cb.setDebugEnabled (true)
       .setOAuthConsumerKey ("********************")
       .setOAuthConsumerSecret ("********************")
       .setOAuthAccessToken ("********************")
       .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret ("********************");

    TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory (cb.build ());
    Twitter twitter = tf.getInstance (); 

    Query query = new Query("avantis_bc");
    QueryResult result = twitter.search(query);

    do{

              List<Status> tweets = result.getTweets();

              for(Status tweet: tweets){
                   System.out.println("Usuário: "+tweet.getUser().getScreenName() + " Tweet: "+tweet.getText());
              }

              query = result.nextQuery();

              if(query!=null)
                   result = twitter.search(query);
    }while(query!=null);
}

}

Exception in thread "main" 400:The request was invalid. An accompanying error message

will explain why. This is the status code will be returned during version 1.0 rate

limiting(https://dev.twitter.com/pages/rate-limiting). In API v1.1, a request without

authentication is considered invalid and you will get this response.

message - Bad Authentication data.

code - 215

    You should review your OAuth, maybe you put it wrong.
    Remember that you need to make your application on Twitter and then use your credentials.
