Hi,

SAP GUI for JAVA will fulfill your requirement. but, As per this SAP [Note 959236 - Supported Java frontend platforms for 7.10 / 7.11 / 7.01 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/959236], Installation of SAP GUI for JAVA on Ubuntu is not officially supported.

You will require JVM 1.4.2 or 5.0/6.0 for the same.

Please refer following SAP Notes to get more information about your requirement.

[Note 146505 - SAP GUI for the Java environment (Platform Independent GUI)|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/146505]
