It feels strange that projects can only be added to resource working sets on checkout, but not to e.g. Java working sets.

I see no technical difficulty in adding the project to a Java working set. In fact, the platform's ModifyWorkingSetDelegate does the same. It checks the validity of the addition with IWorkingSet.isApplicable(..).

+1.

In fact I have never used a "Resource Working Set", since I work on Java 99% of time.

Not being able to add directly to a "Java Working Set" turns this feature useless to most people.

BTW, I never understood why there are working set types, like "Resource", "Java", etc..., since I (as a user) see no difference between them. For me, they are just resource groups.

Is there some documentation about this, other use cases, etc...?

I agree. Unfortunately, we do not have the manpower to address this issue in 3.3.
