I would like to write a plugin that just adds resource filter to the .project file that is created/imported. I know the following way to add a resource filter.

IProject.createFilter(IResourceFilterDescription.EXCLUDE_ALL | IResourceFilterDescription.FOLDERS | IResourceFilterDescription.INHERITABLE, new FileInfoMatcherDescription("org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter", theFilter),  IResource.BACKGROUND_REFRESH, monitor);

I’m wondering what is the right extension point where I can hook this code. I couldn’t find a generic place which would work to all kinds of projects (not just java projects).

My intention is to filter out lots of unwanted files coming from a proprietary source control system.

    You can use IResourceChangeListener. You can find more info here.

    If you are using JDT, you can also use 

    JavaCore.addElementChangedListener(listener);

    the listener must implement org.eclipse.jdt.core.IElementChangedListener.
