+## SAP Java (sapjvm / sapmachine)
+
+SAP also offers JVM distributions. They are mostly required for their SAP products. In earlier versions it is called "sapjvm", in newer versions they call it "sapmachine".
+
+The defined type `java::sap` installs one or more versions of sapjvm (if version 7 or 8) or sapmachine (if version > 8) Java. `java::sap` depends on [puppet/archive](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-archive).
+By using this defined type with versions 7 or 8 you agree with the EULA presented at https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/developer-license-3_1.txt!
+
+```puppet
+java::sap { 'sapjvm8' :
+  ensure  => 'present',
+  version => '8',
+  java => 'jdk',
+}
+
+java::sap { 'sapmachine11' :
+  ensure  => 'present',
+  version => '11',
+  java => 'jdk',
+}
+```
+
+To install a specific release of a SAP Java version, e.g. sapjvm 8.1.063, provide parameter `version_full`:
+
+```puppet
+java::sap { 'jdk8' :
+  ensure  => 'present',
+  version_full => '8.1.063',
+  java => 'jdk',
+}
+```
+
+To install SAP Java to a non-default basedir (defaults: /usr/lib/jvm for Debian; /usr/java for RedHat):
+```puppet
+java::adopt { 'sapjvm8' :
+  ensure  => 'present',
+  version_full => '8.1.063',
+  java => 'jdk',
+  basedir => '/custom/java',
+}
+```
+
+To ensure that a custom basedir is a directory before SAP Java is installed (note: manage separately for custom ownership or perms):
+```puppet
+java::adopt { 'sapjvm8' :
+  ensure  => 'present',
+  version_full => '8.1.063',
+  java => 'jdk',
+  manage_basedir => true,
+  basedir => '/custom/java',

 ### Known issues
 
 Where Oracle change the format of the URLs to different installer packages, the curl to fetch the package may fail with a HTTP/404 error. In this case, passing a full known good URL using the `url` parameter will allow the module to still be able to install specific versions of the JRE/JDK. Note the `version_major` and `version_minor` parameters must be passed and must match the version downloaded using the known URL in the `url` parameter.
