Good way to run Java and Eclipse from a ramdisk

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?

I came across some articles the other day while investigating my own /tmpfs projects
