I don't think you can activate it except by calling JNI.  There might be
something in Cocoa-Java, but I didn't turn up anything when searching ADC:
  <http://developer.apple.com/search/search.html>
for:
  cocoa java character palette


You could tell users how to get to the character palette through System
Preferences:

Maybe there's something scriptable there, which would take some exploring
of scripting dictionaries using Script Editor.app.


The only other thing I can think of is there might be some way to do it
using java.awt.im classes, but I'm not familiar with the classes, so could
easily be wrong.
