Answer 1

Problem occurs for me with projects which use Support library.

This thread helped me a lot to resolve ClassNotFoundException issue with ADT 22:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=55304

The idea is to enable Android Private Libraries on Java Buils Path | Order and Export

Nikolay's workaround works for me: For all projects (app and library):

1. Right click the project, and choose Properties
2. Go to Java Build Path-Order and Export.
3. Tick 'Android Private Libraries'
4. (Optional) Clean all projects if necessary

Thanks, Nikolay.
