It isn't possible (java or not).
A "hard link" is simply a directory entry that refers to an inode, in
common terms a filename. Files in unix can have multiple names
(without using symbolic or soft links), and none of them has any
precedence over the others.
In java terms, this is equivalent to holding several references to a
given object. All of them are equivalent.
