Hi, Alexander!

 ufff... it is getting harder.

as said in http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2005q3/018781.html,
there is a (one, and just one) tree of "tools" in the admin tool which is
stored in the session, and also the last used tool. with this information there
a lot of things that are generated automatically, like the breadcumb nav,
title, subtools icons, and so on.
since your page does not set a new current active path in this tool-tree, the
last one is taken as the active one.
(the key is not displayed correctly because you are not including the needed
bundle overriding the CmsWorkplace#initMessages() method.)

the same think, if you clic anything on your dialog, you are redirected to the
"active tool". (this is no longer the case in my local machine, but i will be
able to check it in only after my holidays, the 1st september week)

---
if you are still trying to use this framework in another view, i am getting
convinced that the core still needs lots of improvements to make the whole
framework usable outside of the admin view.

if you are trying to add a tool to the administration view, just set the
"admintoolhandler-class" property of your files/folders to
"org.opencms.workplace.tools.CmsDefaultToolHandler".
this will give your JSP a sample title, icon, group, helptext, etc.
but be careful, if you have a file "/system/workplace/admin/mytools/mytool.jsp"
and you set the "admintoolhandler-class" property just for the file and not for
the property, the CmsDefaultToolHandler class will try to add a tool
"/mytools/mytool", but since it has no tool registered for "/mytools", it will
ignore it. so set the property at the folder and the file.
