/**
 * <p>
 * A specialized implementation of {@code FileLocationStrategy} which searches for files in the user's home directory or
 * another special configurable directory.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This strategy implementation ignores the URL stored in the passed in {@link FileLocator}. It constructs a file path
 * from the configured home directory (which is the user's home directory per default, but can be changed to another
 * path), optionally the base path, and the file name. If the resulting path points to an existing file, its URL is
 * returned.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * When constructing an instance it can be configured whether the base path should be taken into account. If this option
 * is set, the base path is appended to the home directory if it is not <b>null</b>. This is useful for instance to
 * select a specific sub directory of the user's home directory. If this option is set to <b>false</b>, the base path is
 * always ignored, and only the file name is evaluated.
 * </p>
