 ## Parameters
 
-You can customise this module by configuring some optional class parameters. Usually you'd do this via Hiera, but you could also explicitly pass those parameters in puppet code like `class { 'java': update_version => '42', }`.
+You can customise this module by configuring some optional class parameters. Usually you'd do this via Hiera, but you could also explicitly pass those parameters in puppet code like `class { 'java': update_version => '25', }`.
 
-* `update_version`: The 'update' part of the JRE/JDK version to install. For example, if you specify `51`, the module would install java 7u51
-* `base_download_url`: A base path from which the JRE and JDK packages should be downloaded. For example, if you specify `https://myorg.example/dist/java`, this module would download the jre from `https://myorg.example/dist/java/jre-7u51-macosx-x64.dmg`.
+* `base_download_url`: A base path from which the JRE and JDK packages should be downloaded. For example, if you specify `https://myorg.example/dist/java`, this module would download the jre from `https://myorg.example/dist/java/jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg`.
 
 All of these parameters have sensible defaults, and are provided if you need more control.
 
 Example hiera data in YAML:
 
 ```yaml
-java::update_version: '51'
 java::base_download_url: 'https://myorg.example/dist/java'
 ```
