/**
*
* This package contains the implementations of configuration builder
* classes used to create new {@code Configuration} objects.
*
*
* In Commons Configuration, configuration builders are responsible for
* the creation and initialization of {@code Configuration} objects. The typical
* use case is that a builder is created and configured with initialization
* parameters defining specific settings for the configuration to be created.
* The builder can then be stored centrally. Each component requiring access to
* configuration information queries the builder for its managed
* {@code Configuration} and can read or write properties as its pleasure.
*
* Important note
*
* This package contains a number of interfaces that reflect the
* initialization parameters available for supported configuration implementations.
* These interfaces are not intended to be implemented by client code! When new
* features are added to the represented configuration classes corresponding new
* methods will be added to them. This can happen even in minor releases.
