/**
*
* A specialized implementation of {@code ReloadingDetector} which monitors a
* file specified by a {@link FileHandler}.
*
*
* An instance of this class is passed a {@code FileHandler} at construction
* time. Each time the {@code isReloadingRequired()} method is called, it checks
* whether the {@code FileHandler} points to a valid location. If this is the
* case, the file's last modification time is obtained and compared with the
* last stored time. If it has changed, a reload operation should be performed.
*
*
* Because file I/O may be expensive it is possible to configure a refresh delay
* as a time in milliseconds. This is the minimum interval between two checks.
* If the {@code isReloadingRequired()} method is called in shorter intervals,
* it does not perform a check, but directly returns false.
*
*
* To initialize an instance either {@code isReloadingRequired()} or
* {@code reloadingPerformed()} can be called. The first call of
* {@code isReloadingRequired} does not perform a check, but obtains the initial
* modification date of the monitored file. {@code reloadingPerformed()} always
* obtains the file's modification date and stores it internally.
*
*
* @since 2.0
