| The reason it works is because when you press the button the run methods is executed. So basically you need to simulate a button press... which calling run does.

Another thing: I can get the category ID by ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getActiveCategory().getId() but I cannot do the same with tool ID. There is no ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getActiveTool().getId().
Anyway that's not such a big problem, it would've been just a bit more elegant.
Thanks a lot!

The following snippet can be added to you setActiveMethod():
Display.getCurrent().asyncExec(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getTool(toolID).run();
}
}
I haven't actually tested this situation so let me know how it goes.
But theoretically it should work... :) If it doesn't file a bug
report and I will fix the issue.
