can anyone please help me out?
Sure. Check out the yellow box that appears when you open that legacy SampleCMPlugin page that you mentioned:
Important: The information in this document is obsolete and should not be used for new development. Links to downloads and other resources may no longer be valid.
Carbon is deprecated and more importantly, the code you're writing is likely to not be compatible with 64-bit OS'es (in which case it won't get loaded by the Finder).
A good alternative would be to use Services menus.
I also just Googled up this ad for a product called Abracode Shortcuts which appears to be a free thing.
