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

I am using:

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?

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

Class org.json.JSONObject is available in json-20131018.jar. You need to download this jar and add this jar to your buildpath.

In order to add external jar to buildpath you can - right click on your project in eclipse - click build path -> configure build path - goto tab libraries - there you will find to add external JAR

This will allow you to include any external jar into your build path.
