The first problem is that File.equals compares only the path and not the
absolute path. A work around is to compare absolute path ourselves. But a
bigger problem is with the canonical paths where long directory names is
lowercased and shortened into 8 character names (e.g. "C:\Documents and
Settings" becomes "C:\DOCUME~1").
The test fails because we use java.io.tmpdir which defaults to user's home
directory (shortened and canonicalized) on windows and comparison on this
path fails. What I'm not able to figure out yet is why does Slave Jetty,
running on this canonical path, returns the full path of the index
directory.

Slave's SolrCore.getIndexDir gives:
C:\Documents and Settings\shalinsmangar\Local
Settings\Temp\org.apache.solr.handler.TestReplicationHandler$SolrInstance-1233681533000master\data\index

The value written by TestReplicationHandler is:
C:\DOCUME~1\SHALIN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\org.apache.solr.handler.TestReplicationHandler$SolrInstance-1233681533000master\data\index
