Error in newly created Android Project on Eclipse

Question

I'm having some trouble creating Android Projects on Eclipse. Everything was setup accordingly and everytime I try to create one, I get this kind of message in the manifest (several times):

[2015-05-07 01:18:35 - Ecalc] C:\Users\Luis\Dropbox\UFSC\TCC\Eclipse\Ecalc\res\values\styles.xml:7: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light'.

Additionally, it seems that Eclipse doesn't recognize any of the Android related syntax, filling the code with error warnings. Do you guys have any idea of what it could be?
