You want to train yourself on using the API. Start here:  https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/understanding-and-using-the-rtc-java-client-api/
related is https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/working-with-work-item-attributes/

You need to get the IAttribute for IWorkItem.CATEGORY_PROPERTY

IAttribute category = workItemCommon.findAttribute(projectArea, IWorkItem.CATEGORY_PROPERTY, monitor);
Then you can  the value and cast it.
if(workItem.hasAttribute(category )){
Object value = workItem.getValue(category )
}

Please read the post above to get an idea how the API works.

Hi Ralph

I used the code provided by the link :
https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/manipulationg-work-item-enumeration-values/...

But whenever i tried to access it throws me an exception :

 java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.team.workitem.common.internal.model.impl.CategoryHandleImpl cannot be cast to com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.Identifier

Please need an help :(

The post also says:

If you are just starting with extending Rational Team Concert, start reading this and the linked posts to get some guidance on how to set up your environment.

And I also provided you with the first links in the first answer. An ICategory is not an Enumeration literal. Again, read those posts above carefully.
