title: Spring context initialization fail by GraphDatabaseFactory ClassNotFoundException
body: <p>I'm trying to create a spring-mvc project that does simple crud operations on neo4j database by using this <a href="http://krams915.blogspot.com.tr/2012/03/spring-mvc-31-implement-crud-with_3045.html" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a> :</p>
  
  <p>And i'm getting this console output while trying to start project. 
  You can find and import my project in <a href="http://burakkoksal.com/project/spring-neo4j-tutorial.zip" rel="nofollow">here</a></p>
  
  <p>P.S: I'm using IntelliJ Idea and Tomcat 7.0.42</p>
