Determines if container entries are duplicates/redundant on a runtime
classpath. If an IClasspathContianer implements this interface,
the isDuplicate method is used to determine if containers are
duplicates/redundant. Otherwise, containers with the same identifier are
considered duplicates.

Since:2.0.1
Deprecated:support has been added to ClasspathContainerInitializer
 to handle comparison of classpath containers. Use
 ClasspathContainerInitializer.getComparisonID(IPath,IJavaProject).
 When a classpath container implements this interface, this interface is
 used to determine equality before using the support defined in
 ClasspathContainerInitializer.
