27   * <p>
28   * A specialized implementation of {@code ReloadingDetector} which monitors a file specified by a {@link FileHandler}.
29   * </p>
30   * <p>
31   * An instance of this class is passed a {@code FileHandler} at construction time. Each time the
32   * {@code isReloadingRequired()} method is called, it checks whether the {@code FileHandler} points to a valid location.
33   * If this is the case, the file's last modification time is obtained and compared with the last stored time. If it has
34   * changed, a reload operation should be performed.
35   * </p>
36   * <p>
37   * Because file I/O may be expensive it is possible to configure a refresh delay as a time in milliseconds. This is the
38   * minimum interval between two checks. If the {@code isReloadingRequired()} method is called in shorter intervals, it
39   * does not perform a check, but directly returns <b>false</b>.
40   * </p>
41   * <p>
42   * To initialize an instance either {@code isReloadingRequired()} or {@code reloadingPerformed()} can be called. The
43   * first call of {@code isReloadingRequired} does not perform a check, but obtains the initial modification date of the
44   * monitored file. {@code reloadingPerformed()} always obtains the file's modification date and stores it internally.
45   * </p>
