How to add exception to actionPerformed?

I have code that looks like this, with the main panel using an action listener in a different class in the same file:

publicclass MyPanel

{

public MyPanel()

{

//Panel code

button.addActionListener(new MyButton());

}

}

privateclass MyButtonimplements ActionListener

{

publicvoid actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

//I want to throw a FileNotFoundException here, but when

//I compile it, I get:

//actionPerformed in Panel.java cannot implement actionPerformed in

//java.awt.event.ActionListener; overridden method does not throw FileNotFoundException

{

Scanner scan =new Scanner(new File("Items.txt"));

}

}

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
