Hi,

I am receiving an error when I am compiling my main gui class for a
BattleShip game I am writing for my grad class.

I get this error:

Compiling 1 source file to /root/school/CS654/JavaClasses/Battleship/
build/classes
/root/school/CS654/JavaClasses/Battleship/src/MainGUI.java:2682:
unreported exception java.lang.Exception; must be caught or declared
to be thrown
               btnP2x2ActionPerformed(evt);}

on this line:

       btnP2x2.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener()
{
           public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent
evt) {
               btnP2x2ActionPerformed(evt);}
       });

The highlighted portion is the evt in  btnP2x2ActionPerformed(evt);}

and here is the  btnP2x2ActionPerformed() method it is calling.

   private void btnP2x2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent
evt) throws Exception  {
       PlaceShip(2,2, btnP2x2);
   }

private void PlaceShip(int x, int y, javax.swing.JButton btn) throws
Exception {
            METHOD CONTENTS

Thanks for any and all help.
