You could always compile with Xlint to find the error, but I'm guessing your problem is right here:

public static ArrayList getAllSentences( File f ) {

Specify the type of ArrayList - ArrayList<String> , ArrayList<Integer> , etc.

i got xlint error during compiles

When you get an error, please copy the full text and paste here.
It saves a lot of guesswork.

i only get this error

Note: C:\Documents and Settings\Nexus\Desktop\fikri\FileSentenceReader.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

1. You can compile your code command-line with Xlint to get an actual message detailing what you did wrong.

2. Did you try specifying the type of ArrayList? (See my post above)
