Hello Angel, Ed, Going through the wiki pages, I found these posts which might be helpful to the coding style issue:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=68714707 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=68714707> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Coding+Conventions https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Code+Review+Guide https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Becoming+a+Committer To the best of my knowledge, If there are some classes within the platform which do not follow some of these conventions then that seems to be code which violates our conventions and that needs to be fixed. What you can do in this case is reformat the code base in accordance to the above specifications and send a PR. For the rest of your query, I will give way for a more experienced contributor to Fineract 1.x to respond. Thanks.
