postShare() causes "submitted-url is missing" error when not submitting URL

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to use the "Share API" to post updates to LinkedIn using linkedin-j 
with the 

NetworkUpdatesApiClient.postShare(java.lang.String commentText, 
java.lang.String title, java.lang.String description, java.lang.String url, 
java.lang.String imageUrl, VisibilityType visibility)  

method as follows:

postShare("This is an update", null, null, null, null, VisibilityType.ANYONE);

and I'm getting the error:

com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.LinkedInApiClientException: Required share 
content 'submitted-url' is missing

But, I'm trying to send just a text update with no URL or title.

I tried setting the title and the url fields and then it posted to LinkedIn, 
but I want to post a text-only update.

I'm not 100% sure this is a bug, but if not, I'd love to know what I'm doing 
wrong.

Same here. 
It happens when I updated the following statement ....
            EnumSet<GroupMembershipField> es = EnumSet.of(GroupMembershipField.SHOW_GROUP_LOGO_IN_PROFILE, GroupMembershipField.ALLOW_MESSAGES_FROM_MEMBERS, GroupMembershipField.MEMBERSHIP_STATE, GroupMembershipField.POSTS, GroupMembershipField.GROUP_ID, GroupMembershipField.GROUP_NAME);

to add fields other than GroupMembershipField.GROUP_ID, 
GroupMembershipField.GROUP_NAME.

One of the newly requested field is raising this exception.

Is there any chance this will be fixed in the next release?  This is keeping us 
from switching to the ShareAPI which means our posts are limited to 140 
characters.
