I’m trying to set up a Spring application to run in eclipse for the first time. I’m running it at as a standalone java application. The app builds without any errors but when I go to execute it, I get a ClassNotFoundException with the following stack trace:

DataLoadService [Java Application]

        Thread [main] (Suspended (exception ClassNotFoundException))

It’s happening on this line of code:

ApplicationContext context=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:spring.xml");

spring.xml gets moved into the class/ folder during the build process so I tried adding the class folder to the launch configuration (see screenshot).
