Error java:38: error: 'try' without 'catch', 'finally' or resource declarations

Question

I keep getting an error stating I need a catch clause to accompany the try (inside public Connection getConnection()). I dont understand why the compiler isn't noticing the catch directly under the try. Does anyone know why it won't compile? I checked all my brackets as well...

package crud.data;

import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;

public class ConnectionPool
{
       private static ConnectionPool pool = null;
       private static DataSource dataSource = null;


       private ConnectionPool()
       {
           try
           {
                InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
                dataSource = (DataSource)           
                        ic.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/acm14n");
           }
           catch (NamingException e)
           {
                System.out.println(e);
           }
     }

     public static synchronized ConnectionPool getInstance()
     {
            if(pool == null)
            {
                 pool = new ConnectionPool();
            } 
            return pool;
     }

     public Connection getConnection()
     {
         try
         {
             return dataSource.getConnection();
         }
         catch  (SQLException e)
         {
            System.out.println(e);
            return null;
         }  
     }

     public void freeConnection(Connection c)
     {
         try
         {
            c.close();
         } 
         catch (SQLException e)
         {
                System.out.println(e);
         }
     }
}
