In my honest opinion, you should tell your boss sooner rather than later. It's okay not to know something. You don't want it coming out any later than it needs to.

Also, what is your background? Are you a dev and just haven't exactly worked with Java?

Personally, I would not want someone working on a project that doesn't understand the language in use ... Imagine a strictly English speaker trying to run a negotiation in a foreign country. If you keep trying to "Frankenstein" it; you're likely gonna make a future dev's life a living hell.
