Is it possible to register a VSCode viewContainer and view in the right activitybar?

Hi everyone,

is it possible to register a viewContainer and a view (webview) only by using the VSCode extension package.json contributions to the right content panel (where Outline and Memory inspector are located)? Or do I have to implement an empty viewContainer in Theia, place it to the right and then assign the VSCode view to that viewContainer?

Thanks in advance!

I debugged and had a deeper look in the sources and it's actually very simple. You can register the viewContainer under right instead of activitybar or panel.

In the VSCode extensions package.json do:

{
  "contributes": {
    "viewContainers": {
      "right": [
        {
          "id": ...
          "title": ...
          "icon": ...
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
