Can't access org.json.JSONObject in Kotlin project

Question

I just installed IntelliJ IDEA and Kotlin, and I'm trying to get a simple JSON parser to run using the Java org.json library. But for some reason, I'm unable to access the JSONObject in org.json. Any ideas why this is happening? I added the latest version through Maven.

JDK 1.8

IntelliJ 2019.1.2 CE

Forgive me if this is a silly question.

The answer is actually pretty simple --beginner's mistake. IntelliJ IDEA's Maven search isn't the best, so I accidentally used the wrong JSON library. I had to scroll through a ton of libraries and I eventually found the right org.json library.

Problem fixed.
