Markers are added to the IResource that is associated with an IJavaElement.

You use IJavaElement#getResource() to get the resource.

Then IResource#createMarker() to add a marker to it.

If you look for refernences to IResource#createMarker() accross the entire
workspace you should see about 20 references. 

The java builder:

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.JavaBuilder

creates a good number off them.
