Assume you're working on computer "some-pc" and you're creating a node
"node1@REDACTED".
In former versions (up until and including 1.4.0) it was possible to connect
from Java/JInterface to that node by using "node1@REDACTED" and everything
worked fine - unlike the bugfix description suggested.
This is not possible anymore which prevents easy distribution of software
containing a java interface using an erlang node on the same host
bugfix notes from the release notes:
Jinterface now refuses to connect to another node that does not agree on the
other node's name. This has been a problem in that a connection was set up,
but not used on a following send, which caused a second erroneous connection
attemt to fail since the other (Erlang) node rejects a connection due to name
disagreement.
