I have a Eclipse extension org.eclipse.core.resources.builders that I would like to have added to all projects that have the org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature. Is this possible? Google has not helped.

No, it's impossible. :-P Just kidding. You could register a class that implements org.eclipse.ui.IStartup like this:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.startup">
      <startup
            class="org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.EarlyStartup">
      </startup>
   </extension>

Then you could look at all the projects in the workspace, find the ones with a Java nature, and add your builder if the project doesn't already have that. You could, at that point, also use org.eclipse.core.resources.IWorkspace.addResourceChangeListener(IResourceChangeListener) to monitor new projects being opened or created in the workspace to add your builder to those as well.
