osgi start bundle NoClassDefFoundError

I am working through Neil Bartlett's series at EclipseZone on getting started with OSGi. I'm on the 3rd lesson at http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t90796.html.

After creating and installing the jar file, I get a problem starting it:

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: The activator osgitut.movies.impl.MovieListerActivator for bundle MoviesLister is invalid
        at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.loadBundleActivator(AbstractBundle.java:171)

        at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.loadBundleActivator(AbstractBundle.java:166)

Here is the manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Movies Lister
Bundle-SymbolicName: MoviesLister
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-Activator: osgitut.movies.impl.MovieListerActivator
Import-Package: org.osgi.framework,org.osgi.util.tracker,osgitut.movies
Export-Package: osgitut.movies;version="1.0.0",osgitut.movies.impl;version="1.0.0"

Looks the osgitut/movies/MovieLister class is missing but it is in the jar file I create. I suspect I'm missing something in the Manifest but I can't figure out what.

You got a NoClassDefFoundError which indicates that the MovieListener class is not complete by itself and depends on a super class or has a member for which the class could not be resolved within the bundle.
