How to stage files with JGit in a bare repository?

I read the question and answer for staging files in a non-bare repository. However, I am working with a bare repository and I would like to stage files.

I tried using the test for DirCacheBuilder, but the code Repository.lockDirCache() or Repository.readDirCache() fails because this is a bare repository.

org.eclipse.jgit.errors.NoWorkTreeException: Bare Repository has neither a working tree, nor an index at org.eclipse.jgit.lib.Repository.getIndexFile(Repository.java:993) at org.eclipse.jgit.dircache.DirCache.read(DirCache.java:166) at org.eclipse.jgit.lib.Repository.readDirCache(Repository.java:1017)

So, how could I stage files in a bare repository using JGit? is this even possible?

You can't "stage" files, but you can still add new file and commits to a bare repository. Here's a good snippet.

You wouldn't, as the error states: 

Bare Repository has neither a working tree, nor an index

No index, means no staging.
