public interface ConfigurationBuilder

A ConfigurationBuilder is used to configure a Mule instance, represented by a MuleContext instance. Multiple ConfigurationBuilder's can be used to configure a single mule instance with each ConfigurationBuilder doing one of more of the following:

Creation of mule runtime artifacts (endpoint's, connector's, service's, transformer's) which are then registered with the Registy Creation and registration of SecurityManager / TransactionManager / TransactionManagerFactory / QueueManager and ThreadingProfile's. Unlike the runtime artifacts mule only uses a single instance of each of these and so if multiple configuration builder create and register these artifacts only one will be used. Configuration of existing Mule configuration related artifacts such as MuleConfiguration and ServerNotificationManager

Which of the above takes place, depends on what the configuration source contains and the ConfgurationBuilder implementation is used.
