    Have you written your own ActionListener interface? If so then don't. You are trying to add your own Listener to the button but it is expecting an Listener from the awt.event package to be added. Just because you import this package into your ActionListener interface does not mean that your ActionListener is a java.awt.event.ActionListener. They are quite different.
