/**
 * <p>
 * A specialized {@code ConfigurationBuilder} implementation which can handle configurations read from a
 * {@link FileHandler} and supports reloading.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This builder class exposes a {@link ReloadingController} object controlling reload operations on the file-based
 * configuration produced as result object. For the {@code FileHandler} defining the location of the configuration a
 * configurable {@link ReloadingDetector} is created and associated with the controller. So changes on the source file
 * can be detected. When ever such a change occurs, the result object of this builder is reset. This means that the next
 * time {@code getConfiguration()} is called a new {@code Configuration} object is created which is loaded from the
 * modified file.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Client code interested in notifications can register a listener at this builder to receive reset events. When such an
 * event is received the new result object can be requested. This way client applications can be sure to work with an
 * up-to-date configuration. It is also possible to register a listener directly at the {@code ReloadingController}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This builder does not actively trigger the {@code ReloadingController} to perform a reload check. This has to be done
 * by an external component, e.g. a timer.
 * </p>
 *
 * @since 2.0
 * @param <T> the concrete type of {@code Configuration} objects created by this builder
