I would like to add the following vs code extension eclipe-sirius.sirius-web to theia ide. But unfortunately this extension is not available in the open VSX registry. Does anybody an idea how can I add this extension.

Many thanks in advance

You can download the VSIX file from the VSCode Marketplace, extract its contents into a folder, and then copy that folder into the plugins folder of your Theia application. I followed this process, and it worked.

Many thanks for your response, but I don't see the option download vsix file. (I added the extensions to VSCode, no problem). Now I want to integrate that extensions into da dockerfile but I can't find something like this "vscode-eslint": "https://github.com/theia-ide/vscode-eslint/releases/download/release%2F2.0.15/vscode-eslint-2.0.15.vsix" for the sirius-web extension. Could you please give me a hint/link where I could find this / how to do this. Many thanks in advance

@cmakasy You can find the download link (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/eclipse-sirius/vsextensions/sirius-web/2022.9.6/vspackage) for the extension on the extension page:

Please note that manually downloading extensions and installing them into Theia is against the Terms of Use of the VS Code marketplace. This is the reason why open-vsx exists in the first place. I've raised an issue with the sirius team for this eclipse-sirius/sirius-web#3853.

Hey @cmakasy,

You can use the Install from VSIX command available in the extension view to install any vsix file in your file system:

Additionally, given that it's an Eclipse project, I can imagine the people over at the Sirius project are open to publishing the extension on open-vsx as well. I've raised an issue for this over at eclipse-sirius/sirius-web#3853.
