It is often suggested to me that to improve the performance of the Eclipse development environment, that I should move the Java JDK/JVM (and possibly Eclipse) to a Ramdisk.
I know that the Ubuntu has this /dev/shm device always available, but whats the right way to set up a ram disk with Java on it that will be there everytime I boot up?

HDave about 12 yearsThat first link looks exactly like what I am looking for thanks. The second link recommends putting the Eclipse workspace files on the Ramdisk(!) which I am don't think I'll ever do!
