I had the same problem. It looks like there is a bug somewhere in Eclipse and/or in the Android plug-in since the only solution to this problem is to edit a .java file (and not a .xml file) when trying to run the project. That is to say, you have to open the .java file so you are editing it when you run the application. Saying it again, you have to open the .java file in a window (so you are not anymore in a .xml window).
So to conclude, just delete the "main.out.xml" file, open a .java file (eg: HelloAndroid.java) and click "run".
