An extension application developer has to explicitly depend on @theia/monaco

[kittaakos]

Otherwise, the generated webpack configuration breaks as the monaco dependencies are not in the node_modules folder.

Ideally, an extension should be able to contribute to the webpack generation phase, and the monaco part should not be hardcoded.

Another problem is that I have to explicitly depend on workspace, otherwise, the application does not start:

@akosyakov, I think you have updated the extension manager to handle the transitive dependencies correctly. If so, could you please confirm and close this? Thank you!

Yes, it is backed-in the webpack config generator. Ideally, each extension could contribute to the generation process.
