Java Newbie

I am fairly new to java and I am trying to get help on how to read in a file. I have a file that has a list of words and each word is on a new line. I want to read each word of the file into an element of an array. If anyone can please help me it would be greatly appreciated.

i'm a little rusty with java, but here's an example of some code i found with the array logic i added to it:

ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("input.txt")));
String line = "";

while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
  al.add(line);
}

Rather make use of the Scanner class.
