Just to make sure that nothing silly is happening, I did this (you might
want to explain in as much detail what you did in the future):

1) I made sure that my imagej-tutorials is up-to-date

2) I used Maven to build (this is by far the easiest thing to do):

	mvn

   You could use your development environment of choice (Eclipse,
   Netbeans, IntelliJ, etc) to build it, too.

3) I copied the generated .jar file (which is called
   simple-command-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) from simple-command/target/ to my
   ImageJ.app/plugins/

4) I started ImageJ2 via ImageJ.app/ImageJ-linux64

5) I started the command launcher by hitting the 'L' key

6) I typed "Hello" in the search box

7) I called the "Hello, World!" plugin

It did show a message box, greeting the whole world. So basically I have
no clue what went wrong on your side, but I am sure we can find out
together if you provide every bit of useful information you can extract
from your trial.

Ciao,
Johannes
