Cant include json-simple-1.1.1.jar

I try compile following code (file Main.java):

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

public class Main {
   public static void main (String[] args) {
      JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
      obj.put("name", "foo");
      obj.put("num", new Integer(100));
      obj.put("balance", new Double(1000.21));
      obj.put("is_vip", new Boolean(true));
      System.out.print(obj);
   }
}

json-simple also included (stored at ./lib/)

javac Main.java
java -cp .:lib/json-simple-1.1.1.jar Main

And i got:

error: package org.json.simple does not exist
cannot find symbol JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();

What i doing wrong?

P.s. i'm using:

Ubuntu 14.04

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b20) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

I'm not using any IDE

Update:

Current directory:

/home/user/helloworld/

json-simple placed to directory:

/home/user/helloworld/lib/

You need to give javac the classpath so it can compile the Java source into class files.

Use:

javac -cp .:lib/json-simple-1.1.1.jar Main.java

Note that you still need to supply the json-simple jar on the classpath when you run it too (i.e. like you have been doing).
