When compiling, you must specify the absolute path to the .jar file which contains the package with its classes, like this:

javac -cp /usr/share/java/json-20160212.jar JsonParser.java

According to the official documentation from Oracle about PATH and CLASSPATH variables:

The preferred way to specify the class path is by using the -cp command line switch. This allows the CLASSPATH to be set individually for each application without affecting other applications. Setting the CLASSPATH can be tricky and should be performed with care.

The default value of the class path is ".", meaning that only the current directory is searched. Specifying either the CLASSPATH variable or the -cp command line switch overrides this value.

Bit late, but I wanted to share my opinion on this.

I faced this problem recently when I found a Java project with both libraries and they were used at the same time.

I think that org.json is easier to read and to use, for 2 main reasons (for my needs):

1. JsonObject is immutable. You can't add new key/value pairs to an already existing JsonObject (reference here: javax.json: Add new JsonNumber to existing JsonObject)

2. It takes a few lines to pretty print a JsonObject or JsonArray, while it only takes 1 line to do it with JSONObject or JSONArray. Example:

   CopyStringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
   Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>();
   properties.put(JsonGenerator.PRETTY_PRINTING, true);
   
   JsonWriterFactory writerFactory = Json.createWriterFactory(properties);
   JsonWriter jsonWriter = writerFactory.createWriter(sw);
   
   jsonWriter.writeObject(jsonObject); //JsonObject created before
   jsonWriter.close();
   String prettyPrintedJSON = sw.toString();
   

That is the code I use to get an indented JSON to write to a file. And with org.json I only need jsonObject.toString(4).

Another difference is the constructors. You will need a JsonObjectBuilder to create a JSON with javax.json. One step more that can be avoided.

I'm sure there are more differences (not sure if it's possible to create a JsonObject from a String) but these are my thoughts.
