I need to geocode address in Java but below code throws UnknownHostException. The link I referred is http://code.google.com/p/geocoder-java/
final Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder();
GeocoderRequest geocoderRequest = new GeocoderRequestBuilder().setAddress("Paris,France").setLanguage("en").getGeocoderRequest();
GeocodeResponse geocoderResponse = geocoder.geocode(geocoderRequest);
