I had the same problem and it appears when I updated my sdk packages and added sdk 22 I removed all wear packages from sdk 22 as well as other sdks but problem wasn't resolved I Updated all of my sdk packages again from sdk manager then problem solved and error gone.

I think there's been few bugs with eclipse and android wear packages which are fixed in new updates available in sdk manager
