In my case I only hook in the external provider when certain tool
options are enabled.

If you want to hook it in immediately after project creation then you
could register a listener for CProjectDescrtipionEvents with:
CCorePlugin.getDefault().addCProjectDescriptionListener(ICProjectDescriptionListener,
CProjectDescriptionEvent.APPLIED)

These events are fired during project description life cycle including
project serializing. A fair bit of CDT is drive from these events, so
they fire multiple times after project creation as scanner discovery
etc. takes place..

Cheers,
James
