--------------------------------------------

             Summary: There are 2 different ConfigurationBuilder interfaces
                 Key: CONFIGURATION-598
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-598
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha1
            Reporter: Bjarne Boström
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.0


(This is my first time entering a bug here; at least searching with ConfigurationBuilder here did not bring any relevant issues so I wanted to post this)

There are 2 different ConfigurationBuilder interfaces: 
one is {{org.apache.commons.configuration2.ConfigurationBuilder}} and other is
{{org.apache.commons.configuration2.builder.ConfigurationBuilder}}

The base package has 
{code}
Configuration 	getConfiguration()
{code}

while the builder package has 
{code}
T 	getConfiguration()
{code}
and the (<T extends Configuration> as generic parameter in the interface)

I assume this is a bug, since nothing implements the base package one and all ConfigurationBuilder implementations implement the one in the builder subpackage. It is at least confusing in case the base package one is intended just for clients to implement. Also documentation points to the builder package one.
