how to make actionPerformed method throw exceptions?

[arpit rai]

Hi,
I am trying to design a JMenuItem which creates textfiles.
See line 39 .I have declared a Jmenuitem named file.
the problem is here:-the actionPerformed() connected to the JmenuItem cannot throw IOException.I made use of a userinputdialogbox to ask the user the name of file and
then called createNewFile() but it declares an exception and the actionPerformedPerformed cannot throw IOException. what to do?
You can take a look on the source code of my program:

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JRadioButtonMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
class MenuActionListener implements ActionListener {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
        JFrame fr= new JFrame();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(fr,"A DialogBOX");
    }
}
 
public class MenuAction {
    public static void main( String args[])throws IOException {
        String name;
        ActionListener menuListener = new MenuActionListener();
        MenuAction mes=new MenuAction();
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("MenuSample Example");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
 
        JMenu ab = new JMenu("A menu");
        ab.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_A);
        menuBar.add(ab);
 
        JMenu mn= new JMenu("New");ab.addSeparator();
        mn.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_N);
 
        JMenuItem men = new JMenuItem("Dialog Box");
        men.addActionListener(menuListener);
        mn.add(men);
        ab.add(mn);
 
        JMenuItem file = new JMenuItem("File");
        file.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_F);
        file.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
                    JFrame framea=new JFrame();
                    int messageType = JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE;
String stra = new JOptionPane.showInputDialog(framea,"File Name?","File dialog",messageType);                    
File f = new File("E:\\"+stra+".txt");
                    f.createNewFile();}
               });
 
        mn.add(file);
 
        JRadioButtonMenuItem it = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Radio button");
        it.setSelected(true);
 
        it.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_R);
        it.addActionListener(menuListener);
        ab.add(it);
 
        frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
        frame.setSize(350, 250);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

I wrote this program when I was learning menus so I have added a submenu too in my menu.Can anybody help me in this case? Is there any alternative option?
