Cannot run Vaadin project in Eclipse Juno with Tomcat 7: throws ClassNotFoundException

I have created a basic Vaadin project (from its template, I haven't edited the code even). I am using:

Tomcat throws the following stack-trace:

    HTTP Status 500 - Failed to load application class: com.example.addressbook.AddressbookApplication

    type Exception report

    message Failed to load application class: com.example.addressbook.AddressbookApplication

    description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

    exception

        <welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
      </welcome-file-list>
    </web-app>

I don't know what the problem is... Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try changing the servlet-class tag to:

<servlet-class>com.vaadin.server.VaadinServlet</servlet-class>
