Building idp.war fails on version 3.4.0

[O'Dowd, Josh]

We repo our IdP in Git, and we were ignoring the 'dist' directory until 3.4.0.  This new version uses the dist/webapp/WEB_INF/lib to merge with edit-webapp.  We were getting the same error you are/were because our dist directory was missing from the repo'd project.

The dist/webapp/WEB-INF/lib contains a springframework jar that contains the class the error is referring to:
org/springframework/context/ApplicationContextInitializer

Hope this helps in your situation.
