Elipse: Failed to launch SAM during debug

[gvallangca]

To whom it may concern,

I'm running AWS SAM local in Eclipse(Windows 10) through debug mode and it's always throwing a pop-up exception. Please see the captured stack trace below:

com.amazonaws.eclipse.core.exceptions.AwsActionException: Cannot invoke "org.eclipse.ui.console.IOConsole.newOutputStream()" because "samLocalConsole" is null

I had used 3 different versions(2019, 2020, 2021) of Eclipse and all of them throws the same error as mentioned above.

I'm having the same issue when trying to spinoff a aws ec2 instance from a eclipse java project using aws sdk. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
