Unable to launch SAM local from eclipse on CENTOS7

[cpandey05]

I installed AWS plugin for eclipse CENTOS 7 with SAM CLI, version 0.14.1. I am trying to debug a sample app from https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sam-java-rest , but the debug launch fails with following error (This may be related to https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-eclipse/issues/104 but that is for other environment and was solved by setting some variables, so opening a new one here)

Thanks for reporting this issue. It seems to be Eclipse Debugger has not been successfully launched.

By the way, we are deprioritizing Eclipse plugin development and focusing on JetBrains IDEs support. Here is the AWS toolkit for JetBrains. We'd like you to give it a try and let us know how you feel. It will provide better support and faster bug fix.
