Often time while working with Eclipse and Spring framework you will see below exception. It does not matter either your eclipse class path setup properly or previously was working fine:

Solution: File not found in class-path exception happens:

• If you clean you application in eclipse
• If you are using maven for project management and update all jar forcefully
• If you deleted all jars and included again in project path
• If you took full clean build

This seems to be bug in eclipse not sure what other version this bug is there where eclipse clean all class-paths setting during project clean (In my case I was using Kepler). To fix this issue you will have remove all class-path –> Right click project –> Properties –> Java Build path –> Source tab –> Select all Source folders on build path –> Click Remove –> Click OK

• Again follow the same process to add all properties in the class-paths
