Java - error: package nitf does not exit

[s2000coder]

javac ReadImageSample.java 
ReadImageSample.java:6: error: package nitf does not exist
import nitf.IOHandle;
           ^
ReadImageSample.java:7: error: package nitf does not exist
import nitf.ImageReader;
           ^
ReadImageSample.java:8: error: package nitf does not exist
import nitf.ImageSegment;
           ^
ReadImageSample.java:9: error: package nitf does not exist
import nitf.ImageSubheader;

This is on CentOS with OpenJDK 1.8.0.

The javac compiler can't find the nitf library. Nitro is successfully built on the OS.

Setting the path to where the libnitf.jni-c.so is located doesn't do anything.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/nitro/lib

Any idea on how to run the java file?
