Inside a class is fine, but notice that you did it INSIDE the very defined resource type that you're calling out to (i.e. you're trying to declare resources of type yum::wars INSIDE the parameter declaration section OF the yum::wars defined resource type) :)
Try putting them in another class (or directly in your site.pp) and you should be good to go!
