How to get class and use method on it

Question

Hi,
class State {
        String name
        Enum expectedValue
        public State(String name,Enum expectedValue){
            this.name = name;
            this.expectedValue = expectedValue;
In the same class I need to have a method that takes a String and it should return matching
Enum value. Since  class already have the expectedValue my idea is to get the Enum class ( using that if possible) and
the call get() on it see my example below;
Example:
expectedValue is HwState.UPGRADED;
    public HwState convertActualToStateType( String actual){
        return  HwState.get(Integer.valueOf(actual));
How can I get the Enum class (HwState) ? And then use it e.g. HwState.get() ?
