i'm trying to migrate an existent Objective-C

i have a problem when porting a Category.
the JavaConverter doesn't generate any associated
class.
what is the best way to migrate the categories into Java (especially
categories of the foundation and EOF classes):
1-transform the ObjC categories to classes that inherits
from the original base class. which includes only the category's
methods and then i perform the convertion.
2- transform the ObjC categories to classes that inherits
from the original base class:
- which adds a new attribute from the base class(which
will be used as parameter to the constructor),
- the category's methods ,
- and reimplements the base class methods by calling
the associated method from new attribute attribute.
What we did was create static functions for the methods in the
category. AFAIK, there is no better way, since inheriting from the
base class gets you nothing if the child is never used.
