Getting Connection timed out: connect about linkedin-j

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Made some progress on this issue, the proxy setting was causing the issue, made 
changes to include "https.proxyHost" and "https.proxyPort" now the example is 
able to go further but still throwing exceptions as below

Hi Vinay.
You will also have to include "http.proxyHost" and "http.proxyPort" (note http 
instead of https). This is because while authentication uses https , other apis 
use http. Let me know if you still run into issues.
