Toolbar Positioning in Eclipse / RCP

I was working on my tiny RCP application that needs a custom perspective switch to control which views users can get. So here I am, trying to add a toolbar with a few buttons to switch perspectives.

I decided that the best way to have some control over the material is to add a second toolbar to the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor that will trigger my actions / commands to switch perspectives.

So, let's say I create a second ToolBarContributionItem in the fillCoolBar method, which will look like this:

protected void fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager coolBar) {
    IToolBarManager toolbar = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT | SWT.RIGHT);
    ToolBarContributionItem mainBar = new ToolBarContributionItem(toolbar, "main");
    coolBar.add(mainBar);

    toolbar.add(openViewAction);
    toolbar.add(newConnectionAction);

    //Custom perspective switcher bar
    IToolBarManager perspectives = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT | SWT.RIGHT);
    ToolBarContributionItem perspectiveBar = new ToolBarContributionItem(perspectives, "perspectives");
    coolBar.add(perspectiveBar);        
}

Any ideas how I can align the toolbar so that it is on the right side of the window? I would like this position to be hard-coded.
