If you want to add filters directly inside .project file, these are some rules:

    6 
    5 
    13 
    26

    1.0-name-matches-false-false-xyz 
    1.0-name-matches-true-false-EEE 
    1.0-name-matches-false-false-www 

One .project filter section for example:

    
        
            1567020347706
            
            6 
            
                org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter
                1.0-name-matches-false-false-abc
            
        
        
            1567020347708
            
            5 
            
                org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter
                1.0-name-matches-false-false-xyz 
            
        
        
            1567020347711
            
            13
            
                org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter
                1.0-name-matches-false-false-mno
            
        
        
            1567020347713
            
            26
            
                org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter
                1.0-name-matches-true-false-EEE 
            
        
        
            1567020347716
            
            26 
            
                org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter
                1.0-name-matches-false-false-www
