Eclipse doesnt show output of JCWDE simulation in the console

Question

Recently I started learning Java Card development using eclipse v4.2 and the JCDE eclipse plugins with JCDK 2.2.2. (windows 10 64x)

I am trying to run a simulation with Jcwde. however when i run the simulation, Eclipse console does not show the output that says it has established a connection nor does register any inputs as commands.

enter image description here

the console in eclipse should be looking like this:

If i go to the JCDK and run the Apdutool.bat after i start the simulation in eclipe. i can connect to the Virtual card; input my commands and run simple applets by sending command APDUs.

its also worth noting that if the first command i type in the apdutool.bat is not powerup the simulation ends in Eclipse. (see next image)

So Eclipse clearly is registering my inputs but no displaying them in the console.

also note that when i create a simple Java application that displays on the console like System.out.println("testing console"). the console displays the message with no issues. so the problem should be with eclipse console and the cmd.

i tried eclipse 4.2.3; eclipse 4.2 64x and 32x with different JDKs but all were the same.
