package org.json does not exist when importing org.json.JSONObject

Question

I am using:

• emacs 24.3.1
• Fedora 20
• jdk1.7.0_45

I have created a Java project using emacs and have the following project and classpath files:

.project

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <projectDescription>     <name>snaprequest</name>     <comment></comment>     <projects>     </projects>     <buildSpec>         <buildCommand>             <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>             <arguments>             </arguments>         </buildCommand>     </buildSpec>     <natures>         <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>     </natures> </projectDescription> 

.classpath

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath>     <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>         <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>      <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>     <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/> </classpath> 

I have this version

In my Java program I want to use the JSONObject so I tried to import the following:

import org.json.JSONObject; 

And when I try and compile on the command line I get this error:

 error: package org.json does not exist import org.json.JSONObject; 

I know I need to add something on my classpath so it can find the jar files, but I am not sure how?

Answer 1

In my case i was using maven build tool and got this error so had to add below dependency from here like below and error resolved.

<dependency>     <groupId>org.json</groupId>     <artifactId>json</artifactId>     <version>20180130</version> </dependency>
