Really it is a 1 day JOB creating an FREE open Source Apache GUI with a few tools like MS Visual C++ or even possibly visual basic (Low Quality GUI )to realy cheat.(many have said) I mention JOB as I have attempted Apache GUI 's then thought well what the stuff am I doing this for most apache users just scarn at this kinda tool and would only be benifical to new users who would be out to make the dollars with web dev. and their new version of Frontpage and 200+ books on PHP build a shopping cart then sell it. Really all that is needed is to write to a text file ,count the lines and design an interface.Real Simple However looking at the java version it LOOKS great better than my attempts and is open source according to the page. NO I dont know alot about java . inspiration and maybe a project plan in UML, I will look at it.
netlooney is looking real looney tunes though.
