A first step, which would provide useful functionality would be to populate your cache with this list and enable it's use in the Egit plugin. This would accomplish the goal of enabling EGit to use ignore lists in an immediately useful way with minimal effort. As a second stage you can add support for picking up Git specific files and updating them from Eclipse. I think you will run into problems if you try to create a workspace wide cache. It is quite possible that one workspace could have projects that target different Git repositories. This means that your cache would need to look at all projects in the workspace and potentially take into account Eclipse working sets and other such complications. You also will need to deal with projects being added and deleted from the Eclipse workspace. I think a better approach might be to go for lazy cache construction where the cache is built only when actually needed by a user operation. The cache would then be built only for a specific Git repository. JGit should be responsible for assembling a merged list from the various Git files. It should also be responsible for the actual updating of the various Git ignore files. Since I believe that the Eclipse repository-independent ignore file list should be the lowest priority in the merged list, it will be necessary to pass the Eclipse list to JGit as a parameter whenever a merged list is required. In general, you should look to do Git specific things in JGit and do Eclipse things in Eclipse. That way JGit continues to acquire the functionality to support any IDE and EGit is kept as simple as possible.
