applicationContext.xml not found in Spring application with NetBeans

I'm new to Spring. While running a simple application I'm getting this exception. I tried some solutions present on SO, but none worked for me.

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [applicationContext.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Full Trace:
