/**
 * 
 * A fully-functional, reflection-based implementation of the {@code ConfigurationBuilderProvider} interface which can
 * deal with the default tags defining configuration sources.
 * 
 * 
 * An instance of this class is initialized with the names of the {@code ConfigurationBuilder} class used by this
 * provider and the concrete {@code Configuration} class. The {@code ConfigurationBuilder} class must be derived from
 * {@link BasicConfigurationBuilder}. When asked for the builder object, an instance of the builder class is created and
 * initialized from the bean declaration associated with the current configuration source.
 * 
 * 
 * {@code ConfigurationBuilder} objects are configured using parameter objects. When declaring configuration sources in
 * XML it should not be necessary to define the single parameter objects. Rather, simple and complex properties are set
 * in the typical way of a bean declaration (i.e. as attributes of the current XML element or as child elements). This
 * class creates all supported parameter objects (whose names also must be provided at construction time) and takes care
 * that their properties are initialized according to the current bean declaration.
 * 
 * 
 * The use of reflection to create builder instances allows a generic implementation supporting many concrete builder
 * classes. Another reason for this approach is that builder classes are only loaded if actually needed. Some
 * specialized {@code Configuration} implementations require specific external dependencies which should not be
 * mandatory for the use of {@code CombinedConfigurationBuilder}. Because such classes are lazily loaded, an application
 * only has to include the dependencies it actually uses.
 *
