Starting Micro-Manager from the command-line, you should see something 
like this in the log:

```
[...]
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/imglib2/RandomAccessibleInterval
[...]
```

This message indicates that ImgLib2 is missing from your installation. 
My idea was to start from a Fiji installation where the 
Micro-Manager-dev update site is activated. That way, ImgLib2 is already 
installed.

However, if you insist on using a Micro-Manager installed from the 
official Micro-Manager installers, you can add those dependencies 
manually, as follows:

1. Run `mvn dependency:copy-dependencies` in the SPIMAcquisition 
directory
2. From `target/dependency/` in that subdirectory, copy the 
`imglib2-*.jar` files to your Micro-Manager's `mmplugins/` subdirectory.
3. Copy `target/SPIMAcquisition-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar` to the `mmplugins/` 
subdirectory, too.
4. Restart Micro-Manager.

I also added these instructions to the `README.md` file of the 
SPIMAcquisition project.
