I have moved my JDK, workspace and Tomcat server to a RAM disk which is created with the help of Imdisk tool.

This move has beefed up my Eclipse IDE and my productivity.

But I loose my virtual disk whenever I boot up my machine. Is it a way to persist RAM drive and it's content?

I am using Windows 7, 64-bit with 8GB of actual RAM.

Commands to automate this are in the FAQ for Imdisk :

http://reboot.pro/topic/15593-faqs-and-how-tos/

There are ways to have scripts run at windows startup (to load the disk image) and at windows shutdown (to save the ramdisk to the disk image).
