Hi Xiao- supposedly yes ...if you can get your File to extend apache jackrabbit MemoryFile https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.5/index.html?org/apache/jackrabbit/core/fs/mem/MemoryFile.html
I would not rely on any java implementor to guarantee your Java Object will be "in memory" vs "on disk" specifically a java object which implements Serializable will save the object to disk by the serializer.. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/JavaRMI_10/?page=3 (except your objects declared as transient of course) Did you have a specific requirement in mind for "Memory File" for your build.xml ?
