ClassNotFoundException on PhoneGap Getting Started with Android

I followed the PhoneGap Getting Started with Android instructions. The only thing that isn't exactly as described in the steps is that I have cordova version 2.1.0. The application builds and installs on my phone, but gives a ClassNotFoundException just after starting.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.example.phonegaptest/com.example.phonegaptest.MainActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.phonegaptest.MainActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.example.phonegaptest-2.apk]

The MainActivity is the only class in the application. Why can't it be found?

Update: Here's my manifest:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

<supports-screens 
    android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="true" 
    android:smallScreens="true" 
    android:resizeable="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_main" 
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale"
        >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

I fixed this, but I don't like the solution. I went into the Eclipse Build Path settings for the project, and checked the boxes to export the three jars the project depends on. This solved the problem. Then I started unchecking them to figure out which one I really needed to do that for, and after unchecking all of the boxes, the program still runs.
