The accepted answer is no longer valid. Based on the answer in this page, the code should be changed to the following:

    String consumerKey = xxxxxxx,
            consumerSecret = xxxxxxx,
            twitterAccessToken = xxxxxxx,
            twitterAccessTokenSecret = xxxxxxx,
            Tweet_ID = xxxxxxx;

    ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
    builder.setOAuthConsumerKey(consumerKey);
    builder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(consumerSecret);
    Configuration configuration = builder.build();
    TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(configuration);
    final Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance();

    //twitter.setOAuthConsumer(consumerKey, consumerSecret);
    AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(twitterAccessToken, twitterAccessTokenSecret);
    twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken);
    try {
        Status status = twitter.showStatus(Long.parseLong(Tweet_ID));
        if (status == null) { //
            // don't know if needed - T4J docs are very bad
        } else {
            System.out.println("@" + status.getUser().getScreenName()
                    + " - " + status.getText());
        }
    } catch (
            TwitterException e) {
        System.err.print("Failed to search tweets: " + e.getMessage());
        // e.printStackTrace();
        // DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THROWN WHEN ID IS INVALID
    }
