Spring ClassNotFoundException upon bean creation

I'm want to use the class TitanGraph in my IntelliJ project. I therefore included all necessary libraries in my project. The project compiles just fine, but as soon as Spring tries to create a bean with this class type, it throws a ClassNotFoundException. My bean:

public class GraphEngineGlue {
    @Bean
    public TitanGraph titanGraph() {
        return TitanFactory.open(configuration);
    }
}

In my XML file I have the following reference:

<bean class="my.package.GraphEngineGlue"/>

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that some libraries are not included at runtime?

EDIT:

stacktrace

1)i don't think that's the cause, but if you define the bean in a java configuration as you do, then you don't need to define it an xml based configuration as well.

2)check that you included the dependency in the correct scope, i don't know if you are using maven or ivy or whatnot but if the dependency is set to be available only for testing for example and you run the app as a main method and not in a testing context then you will not have the class available.
