    Default actionListner code doesn't work ????

    hi everyone
    I am still new at learning java language
    and I use eclipse program
    but when I run this code it doesn't work

    the code is :
     
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.awt.GridLayout;
    import java.awt.FlowLayout;
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
     
    public class coloredPanels extends JFrame implements ActionListener
    {
     
    	private int width = 300;
    	private int height = 200;
     
    	private JPanel greenPanel;
    	private JPanel whitePanel;
    	private JPanel grayPanel;
     
     
    	public static void main(String[] args){
    		coloredPanels gui =new coloredPanels();
    		gui.setVisible(true);		
    	}
     
     
    	public coloredPanels()
    	{
     
    		//we created the frame of the GUI
    	super("Panel for 3 colors");
    	setSize(width,height);
    	setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    	setLayout(new BorderLayout());
     
    	//we created the biggest panel that has the other panels of each colored bars
    	JPanel biggerPanel = new JPanel();
    	biggerPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
     
    	//the first panel has created
    	greenPanel  = new JPanel();
    	greenPanel.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
    	biggerPanel.add(greenPanel);
     
     
    	//the second panel has created
    	whitePanel  = new JPanel();
    	whitePanel.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
    	biggerPanel.add(whitePanel);
     
    	//the third panel has created
    	grayPanel  = new JPanel();
    	grayPanel.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
    	biggerPanel.add(grayPanel);
     
    	//place the biggest panel with the 3 other panels at the center of the screen
    	add(biggerPanel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
     
    	//now we created panel for 3 buttons
    	JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
    	buttonPanel.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
    	buttonPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     
    	JButton greenButton = new JButton("Green");
    	greenButton.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
    	greenButton.addActionlistner(this);
    	buttonPanel.add(greenButton);
     
    	JButton whiteButton = new JButton("White");
    	whiteButton.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    	whiteButton.addActionlistner(this);
    	buttonPanel.add(whiteButton);
     
     
    	JButton grayButton = new JButton("Gray");
    	grayButton.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
    	grayButton.addActionlistner(this);
    	buttonPanel.add(grayButton);
     
     
    	add(buttonPanel,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    	}
     
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    	String buttonText = e.getActionCommand();
     
    	if(buttonText.equalsIgnoreCase("Green"))
    		greenPanel.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
    	else if(buttonText.equalsIgnoreCase("White"))
    		whitePanel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    	else if(buttonText.equalsIgnoreCase("Gray"))
    		greenPanel.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
    	else
    		System.out.println("error");
    }
     
    }


    and the errors are :
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
    The method addActionlistner(coloredPanels) is undefined for the type JButton
    The method addActionlistner(coloredPanels) is undefined for the type JButton

    JButton (Java Platform SE 7 )
    ...copy...paste
    addActionListener
    Your post
    ...copy...paste
    addActionlistner
    ...edit a bit to get one above the other...
    addActionListener
    addActionlistner
    Compare the two strings of characters one-character-at-a-time, like a computer would. Are they the same?
