static try method consolidation

Working from the Sun tutorial, to a degree. How can I combine tryIt()
and scanXan() into one method? Of course, it's silly to pass the String,
but what I mean is the try/catch and exception handling:

thufir@arrakis:~/bcit-comp2611-lab4$ cat src/a00720398/util/
DataException.java
package a00720398.util;

import a00720398.data.*;
import a00720398.util.*;
import a00720398.labs.*;

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public abstract class DataException {

        public static void tryIt(){
                String[] foo = {"a","b","c"};

                try{
                        scanXan(foo);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }

        }

    public static void scanXan(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Scanner s = null;
        try {
            s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader
("xanadu.txt")));

            while (s.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println(s.next());
            }
        } finally {
            if (s != null) {
                s.close();
            }
        }
    }
}
