Develop GUI for Dispatcher management

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Dispatcher GUI
Use-case: Dispatcher management
Current/Experienced Behavior: Not often it is cumbersome to develop, manage and trroubleshoot Dispatcher configurations, including those specifically belonging to Apache HTTP server.
Improved/Expected Behavior: - I remember that back in the days there was a pretty good UI tool for managing Apache HTTP related configurations. It was called http://www.apache-gui.com/apache-windows.html and we can refer to it and check it out to see how it works.
- I would propose to have a similar tool for managing Dispatcher configurations. Everything should nicely be viewed in a visual editor. It may contain hints and preferably validators that can be used during editing. The core engine for the tool can either be developed from scratch using maybe ANTLR or it may reuse the stuff that Adobe uses internal to read, interpret and apply the Dispatcher config.
- I would be more than glad to participate and contribute to development of such tool.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): For both on-premise and AEMaaCS.

Debugging Dispatcher in the Cloud is a nightmare indeed.

I would be happy with some debug headers to begin with.🙂
