The problem is that your class will not be used, but the original one,
unless you put the .jar containing your class _in front of_ ij.jar in the
classpath.

But a much better way to do what you want to do is probably to register a
CommandListener:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/api/ij/Executer.html#addCommandListener(ij.CommandListener)

This listener will be notified whenever an action occurred.

Ciao,
