Pergunta
I use eclipse with git (egit).
I would like to make use of my ssh-agent so I can push from eclipse. Does anybody know how to set up egit to use ssh-agent?
background: I can't upload my key to eclipse as my keys are on a cryptostick. My ssh-agent can loaded with the help of opensc.

Update June 2016 (4 years later): Gunnar Wagenknecht now mentions in the comments:
It's now possible in Eclipse Neon with project
eclipseguru/eclipse-jsch-agent-proxy, an Eclipse ssh-agent and Pageant support.
A workaround for older Eclipse versions is to use the native OS SSH client instead of the Eclipse built-in one by setting GIT_SSH environment variable:

In your eclipse startup script or .profile (or wherever) add export GIT_SSH=/usr/bin/ssh before starting eclipse. Then eclipse uses default ssh which uses ssh agent and you cann run pull and push commands within eclipse even if your key is on a smartcard.
Edit: GIT_SSH is interpreted by eclipse's egit, but also by the stand-alone git. Setting it to /usr/bin/ssh sets it to the default value for stand-alone git, so only egit will change it's behavior.
No way! Sooo many years of eclipse out there and still no way to work with a smartcards and ssh/ssh-agent? Really disappointing come back to eclipse..
Checkout cac-agent. It includes cac-ssl-relay, which can work as a universal tunnel from any client application that needs CAC access (including git/eclipse).
