I think that you are having a problem here because $java is not
expanded/interpolated as a variable and the template solves it. You can
safely use the fully qualified name and this should work:
$java_home = ${java::jdk_1_7_u10::home}
Of course if you want to use $java as a variable you will have to use a
templates. If you tell us more about your usecase and setup - there are
often better ways to do what you want - hiera comes mind first; also
java::params class comes second with the home set as parameter for
different setups
