+/**
+ * <p>
+ * A listener interface for receiving notifications when the status of a
+ * {@link ConfigurationBuilder} is changed.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * There are use cases when it is of interest to monitor the status of a
+ * {@code ConfigurationBuilder}. Especially, if the builder creates new result
+ * objects dynamically, it may be important to know when it was reset because 
it
+ * will then return a new result object. This could also mean that the
+ * {@code Configuration} object managed by the builder has changed.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * This interface defines a single method which gets called when the builder 
was
+ * reset. A concrete implementation could react on this notification for
+ * instance by querying a new result object or by marking a reference to the
+ * current {@code Configuration} as stale.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * @version $Id$
+ * @since 2.0
