Jenkins unable to post to twitter due to Twitter-plugin not using SSL

Same problem as this
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-25740

 but the solution was to also replace jar the following files under
$jenkinsdir/plugins/twitter/WEB-INF/lib

twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar with twitter4j-core-3.0.5.jar
twitter4j-async-3.0.3.jar with twitter4j-async-3.0.5.jar

Download from
http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/twitter4j/twitter4j-core/3.0.5/

reload jenkins deployment in tomcat manager and voila! it works!
