Description
Lots of Java related extensions are contributing views to the side bar explorer these days: Maven, Java Dependencies, Tomcat, Spring boot dashboard... In the future, we will add a type hierarchy view once this is available in jdt.ls. This makes the regular explorer pretty crowded these days.
I think vscode-java should own a dedicated Java view, where companion extensions could contribute their stuff without bloating the explorer.
My only requirement is to not show that view if no view contributors are detected.
@gorkem @yaohaizh @akaroml @martinlippert WDYT?

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the extension's existing view registration and contributor mechanisms; done means a dedicated Java view appears when contributors exist and remains hidden when none are detected.
