ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListe ner

[dungorg]

Hi, I'm a newbe to Spring and I'm trying to create my new Spring MVC project from STS but I'm always getting the below error when running the project. Googled help hasn't helped me much. I've just installed STS with GTW SDK plugin. I created a new spring mvc project. I tried to adding springframework libraries from plugin folder including

C:\Program Files\springsource\sts-2.8.0.RELEASE\plugins\org.springframework.web_3.1. 0.RC1.jar

but with no success. Below is the common error coming out. Please help me out.

thanks
