Hi Rajeshwar,
I guess it should work. Please follow any one the below steps if you were not following.
1) Click Create--->Objects--->Then click the Custom Object Label.
You will be taken to the custom object overview page. There you will find a section called Triggers some where in the middle.
There you try to create the Trigger with the same code by clicking the New button. I checked just now and its working.
2) If you are using Eclipse, then right click on the project name or any of the folder. There you will be given an option to create Trigger. Follow the steps in the wizard.
I hope this will resolve your problem.
Thanks,
OnDemand

When referencing custom objects from Apex Code, the Web Services API, or SOQL, you must use the object's developer name, which includes the suffix "__c". So try creating your trigger on "ABC__c" and it should work.

Trigger t on Country__c (before insert, before update) {
Country__c[] countries = Trigger.new;
HelloWorldForce.addHelloWorld(countries);
}
Error: Compile Error: Incorrect SObject type: Country__c should be Account at line 1 column 1
