Hi Vinayak, Welcome to the Fineract Community. Sorry for the late reply.
The Fineract backend is located here: https://github.com/apache/fineract and its written in Java, Spring, Spring Boot, JAX-RS, SQL/MySQL. So you need to learn the above to upgrade the source code to Java 11. You will off course need to learn some Java 11 as well. Fineract has integration tests which are run each time by Travis when you submit a PR. So they key of the Java 11 upgrade is to first make sure the code is running on java 11 and can be build and we can get a deployable war file to deploy on tomcat. Doing this will entail you make the java 11 upgraded Fineract 1.x to pass integration tests. THere are probably a few other things you will need to do. The reference front end application for Fineract is hosted by the Mifos Initiative here: https://github.com/openMF/community-app thats what you will use to test if everything is working functionally as you do the upgrade to Java 11. For a start read the following links and resources: 1.) http://fineract.apache.org/ read everything under this site 2.) Sign up on the right mailing lists: https://mifos.org/resources/community/communications/ ask questions and reply to threads you find interesting 3) Signup and Pick issues to start fixing well before GSoC applications open: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/FINERACT/issues/FINERACT-827?filter=allopenissues 4.) Read our FAQ page and other relevant docs on Confluence: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/FAQ I hope this answers some of your questions. If there are more questions, please ask them onlist and we will be able to answer as soon as we can. Thanks for Joining the Apache Fineract Community May the Force Be with You and Protect you from the Corona Virus Thanks.
