Bug 338792

The AliasManager of the workspace does not check host names in the compare method.

I am using RSE to link remote file systems into my workspace. The remote filesystems look very much alike - most of the resources have the same paths e.g: hosta:/abc/def and hostb:/abc/def The AliasManager does not distinguish between these files, since it ignores the host. This results in strange behaviour. Files which are in fact on the first server suddenly occure on the second server in the package explorer view of the eclipse. Eclipse sometimes complains about files which it can't find, since it looks for them on the wrong server.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a directory on host A (mkdir /user/martin/abc)
2. add a file to that directory (touch /user/martin/abc/A)
3. create a directory on host B which has exactly the same path
4. add a file to that directory with a different name to the first one (touch /user/martin/B)
5. open an fresh eclipse instance which uses RSE
6. create a project hosta
7. create a linked directory dira which links to the RSE filesystem on hosta (/user/martin/abc)
8. create a project hostb
9. create a linked directory dirb which links to the RSE filesystem on hostb (/user/martin/abc)
10. Open the package explorer and browse the workspace. The files are not where you would expect them to be.
