Direct Known Subclasses:

CommentedFileConfigBuilder, FileConfigBuilder
```
public abstract class GenericBuilder<Base extends Config,Result extends FileConfig>
extends java.lang.Object
```
A generic FileConfig/CommentedFileConfig/someOtherFileConfig builder. The default settings are:
- Charset: UTF-8 - change it with charset(Charset)
- WritingMode: REPLACE - change it with writingMode(WritingMode)
- ParsingMode: REPLACE - change it with parsingMode(ParsingMode)
- FileNotFoundAction: CREATE_EMPTY - change it with onFileNotFound(FileNotFoundAction)
- Asynchronous writing, ie config.save() returns quickly and operates in the background - change it with sync()
- Not autosaved - change it with autosave()
- Not autoreloaded - change it with autoreload()
- Not thread-safe - change it with concurrent()
- Values' insertion order preserved if Config.isInsertionOrderPreserved() returns true when the builder is constructed.

`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`backingMapCreator(java.util.function.Supplier<java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>> s)`	Uses a specific Supplier to create the backing maps (one for the top level and one for each sub-configuration) of the configuration.

`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`defaultResource(java.lang.String resourcePath)`	Sets the resource (in the jar) to copy when the config's file is not found.
`protected Base`	`getConfig()`
`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`onFileNotFound(FileNotFoundAction nefAction)`	Sets the action to execute when the config's file is not found.
`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`parsingMode(ParsingMode parsingMode)`	Sets the ParsingMode used for `FileConfig.load()`
`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`preserveInsertionOrder()`	Makes the configuration preserve the insertion order of its values.
`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`sync()`	Makes the configuration "write-synchronized", that is, its `FileConfig.save()` method blocks until the write operation completes.
`GenericBuilder<Base,Result>`	`writingMode(WritingMode writingMode)`	Sets the WritingMode used for `FileConfig.save()`

  - defaultResource
```
public GenericBuilder<Base,Result> defaultResource(java.lang.String resourcePath)

    Makes the configuration preserve the insertion order of its values.

```
public GenericBuilder<Base,Result> backingMapCreator(java.util.function.Supplier<java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>> s)
```
    Uses a specific Supplier to create the backing maps (one for the top level and one for each sub-configuration) of the configuration.
    
    Warning : if autoreload() is called, the map creator must return thread-safe maps, because the autoreloading system will modify the configuration from another thread.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the map supplier to use
    
    Returns:
    
    this builder
  - build
