/**
 * <p>
 * An implementation of the {@code ConfigurationBuilder} interface which is able to create different concrete
 * {@code ImmutableConfiguration} implementations based on reflection.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * When constructing an instance of this class the concrete {@code ImmutableConfiguration} implementation class has to
 * be provided. Then properties for the new {@code ImmutableConfiguration} instance can be set. The first call to
 * {@code getConfiguration()} creates and initializes the new {@code ImmutableConfiguration} object. It is cached and
 * returned by subsequent calls. This cache - and also the initialization properties set so far - can be flushed by
 * calling one of the {@code reset()} methods. That way other {@code ImmutableConfiguration} instances with different
 * properties can be created.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * If the newly created {@code ImmutableConfiguration} object implements the {@code Initializable} interface, its
 * {@code initialize()} method is called after all initialization properties have been set. This way a concrete
 * implementation class can perform arbitrary initialization steps.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are multiple options for setting up a {@code BasicConfigurationBuilder} instance:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>All initialization properties can be set in one or multiple calls of the {@code configure()} method. In each call
 * an arbitrary number of {@link BuilderParameters} objects can be passed. The API allows method chaining and is
 * intended to be used from Java code.</li>
 * <li>If builder instances are created by other means - for example using a dependency injection framework -, the fluent API
 * approach may not be suitable. For those use cases it is also possible to pass in all initialization parameters as a
 * map. The keys of the map have to match initialization properties of the {@code ImmutableConfiguration} object to be
 * created, the values are the corresponding property values. For instance, the key <em>throwExceptionOnMissing</em> in
 * the map will cause the method {@code setThrowExceptionOnMissing()} on the {@code ImmutableConfiguration} object to be
 * called with the corresponding value as parameter.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * A builder instance can be constructed with an <em>allowFailOnInit</em> flag. If set to <strong>true</strong>,
 * exceptions during initialization of the configuration are ignored; in such a case an empty configuration object is
 * returned. A use case for this flag is a scenario in which a configuration is optional and created on demand the first
 * time configuration data is to be stored. Consider an application that stores user-specific configuration data in the
 * user's home directory: When started for the first time by a new user there is no configuration file; so it makes
 * sense to start with an empty configuration object. On application exit, settings can be stored in this object and
 * written to the associated file. Then they are available on next application start.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class is thread-safe. Multiple threads can modify initialization properties and call {@code getConfiguration()}.
 * However, the intended use case is that the builder is configured by a single thread first. Then
 * {@code getConfiguration()} can be called concurrently, and it is guaranteed that always the same
 * {@code ImmutableConfiguration} instance is returned until the builder is reset.
 * </p>
 *
 * @param <T> the concrete type of {@code ImmutableConfiguration} objects created by this builder
 * @since 2.0
