CustomField customField = new CustomField();

customField.setLabel("customPickField");
customField.setType(FieldType.Picklist);
SaveResult[] results = metadataConnection.createMetadata(new Metadata[] {customField});
I have seen forums where people says to use

You can make an HTTP Callout like the below one. You just need to change the XML and find the appropriate tags to set the picklist values and other properties. I used this to create custom fields and assignment rules. I hope it will help you.
HTTP h = new HTTP(); HTTPRequest req = new HTTPRequest(); req.setMethod('POST'); req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml'); req.setHeader('SOAPAction', 'create'); String b = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; b += '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">'; b += '<soapenv:Header>'; b += '<ns1:SessionHeader soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xmlns:ns1="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">'; b += '<ns1:sessionId>' + UserInfo.getSessionId() + '</ns1:sessionId>'; b += '</ns1:SessionHeader>'; b += '</soapenv:Header>'; b += '<soapenv:Body>'; b += '<create xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">'; b += '<metadata xsi:type="ns2:AssignmentRule" xmlns:ns2="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">'; b += '<fullName>samplerule</fullName>'; b += '<active>false</active>'; b += '<ruleEntry>'; b += '<assignedTo>testUser@org.com</assignedTo>'; b += '<assignedToType>User</assignedToType>'; b += '<criteriaItems>'; b += '<field>Case.IsEscalated</field>'; b += '<operation>equals</operation>'; b += '<value>True</value>'; b += '</criteriaItems>'; b += '</ruleEntry>'; b += '</metadata>'; b += '</create>'; b += '</soapenv:Body>'; b += '</soapenv:Envelope>'; req.setBody(b); req.setCompressed(false); req.setEndpoint('https://gaurish-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com/services/Soap/m/25.0'); HTTPResponse resp = h.send(req); System.debug(resp.getBody());PLEASE MARK IT AS THE BEST ANSWER IF IT WORKS FOR YOU.Thanks,

I am not looking for Callouts, thats my question that these tags to set Picklistvalue is not available.
I have generated jar file from the wsdl and using in my java application.
