/**
 * <p>
 * A specialized parameters implementation for {@link BasicConfigurationBuilder}
 * which allows for a convenient event listener initialization.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class offers a fluent interface for registering event listeners. A fully
 * initialized instance can be passed to the
 * {@link BasicConfigurationBuilder#configure(BuilderParameters...)} method. All
 * event listeners which have been registered at the instance are then copied
 * over to the configuration builder.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The code fragment below shows a typical usage scenario:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * BasicConfigurationBuilder&lt;Configuration&gt; builder =
 *         new BasicConfigurationBuilder&lt;Configuration&gt;(
 *                 PropertiesConfiguration.class)
 *                 .configure(new EventListenerParameters().addEventListener(
 *                         ConfigurationEvent.ANY, myListener));
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * In order to support a configuration builder's {@code configure()} method,
 * this class implements the {@code BuilderParameters} interface. However, this
 * is just a dummy implementation; no parameters are propagated to the builder.
 * </p>
 *
 * @version $Id$
 * @since 2.0
