You are using your home folder as workspace; that doesn't sound right. In the tutorial it's implicit, but in ROS you usually place the src inside a workspace folder.

So create a workspace folder where you place everything before proceeding. You should create the packages inside something like ~/my_rosjava_ws/src, and not just ~/src.

Let me know if it works that way; maybe that tutorial needs this clarification.
