but I’ve found out that there was another problem that was causing the first one. The tools in the SDK directory didn’t have the permissions to be executed, so it was like the didn’t exist for Eclipse, thus it didn’t build the R.java file.

So modifying the permission and selecting ”Build Automatically” solved the problem.
