I'm using jgit in eclipse. Works great for me.

Yay!

I have a couple of generated files in my working directory. There
doesn't seem to be any UI for ignoring them. Is it there and I just
can't find it?

EGit doesn't (yet) honor the .gitignore files like it should. Someone
(Ferry i-forget-the-rest-of-his-name) is working on adding ignore
support and has patches in flight for at least some of it.

Ferry i-do-remember-my-name Huberts is working on it :-)

I have most of it working in a basic form already but am currently
refactoring things to take care of some nasty little details.
Expect something to arrive within (my best guesstimate) about 3 to 4
weeks. after next week I'll be skiing for a week, so no coding then :-)

For the new functionality:
You don't really need a UI: just add a .gitignore file with a pattern
and the plugin will pick it up and show you what is ignored by means of
a nice little decoration.

I expected it to work by right clicking the file and picking
team/ignore. This would add the file name .gitignore and automatically
add .gitignore to my commit. It would also alter the eclipse filter to
make the file disappear in the eclipse browser.
