SAM Local does not support gradle projects

[hongqijia]

Here is the error message I get when I try to test my gradle project with SAM local:

Failed to launch SAM Local. The project must be a Maven project with a pom.xml file in the root!

The AWS Toolkit for Eclipse is freezing and we are focusing on the plugin development in JetBrains. The latest AWS Toolkit for JetBrains supports the Gradle project for SAM features, local running / debugging, application deployment and Lambda function deployment.

Please give it a try and let us know if you have any issues for using that.
