JRE crashes when running java application within an Android project

[Marcel Admiraal]

Within Eclipse, JRE will crash if I try run any java application class created within an Android project.

To recreate the problem:
- Within Eclipse (with Android SDK and ADT plugins installed), create a new Android Application project (give it a name, but otherwise keep all the defaults; run it as Android Application to confirm it works);
- Within the project create a new Java class and make it runnable (just give it a name and check create public static void main(String[] args) stub);
- Run (the project or the file) as Java Application.

Note it works fine if created in a Java Application project.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Most annoying because testing pure Java components with JUnit is not possible.
