You will need to write a puppet manifest that will check for these custom facts that you require ( whether java is installed or not). If java is installed, you need to specify it to install java on the agent depending on the underlying OS that you are using.

When you run puppet agent -t the agent node will pull these custom facts that are required and then depending on whether java is installed or not it will do the further required things.
