Error in my build.xml file (help with spotting syntax error requested)

Question

Hi
I have written an XML file called build.xml for one of my applications. My XML editor complains that there is an error at the last line of the XML file, but I simply find it unable to correct the errror.
It says:
Fatal error:Build.xml[76:3-9]: End-Tag without start-tag
The XML file itself:
<project basedir="." default="deploy" name="concepts">
<property name="src.dir" value="src"></property>
<property name="build.dir" value="${basedir}/build"></property>
<property name="build.lib" value="${build.dir}/lib"></property>
<property name="dist.dir" value="dist"></property>
<property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes"></property>
<property name="build.etc" value="${src.dir}/etc"></property>

</copy>
<jar jarfile="${build.lib}/concepts.ear">
<fileset dir="${build.resources}/concepts-ear" includes="concepts.war,concepts-lib.jar">
</fileset>
</jar>
<target depends="deploy" name="explode">
<taskdef classname="org.jboss.nukes.common.ant.Explode" classpath="${libs}" name="explode"></taskdef>
<explode file="${build.lib}/concepts.ear" name="concepts.ear" todir="${build.lib}/exploded"></explode>
</target>
<target depends="war" name="all"></target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}">
</delete>
<delete dir="${dist.dir}">
</delete>
</target>
</project>
I am a little inexperienced in XML files. So I am unable to spot the error.
I would greatly appreciate it, if some kind soul were to help me out.
thanks a lot

The tag
<target name="deploy" depends="clover-yes, clover-no">...is never closed.
close that tag:
<target name="deploy" depends="clover-yes, clover-no">
     <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" classpath="${libs}" debug="off" optimize="on" deprecation="on" compiler="${compiler}">
          <include name="org/apache/commons/fileupload/**/*.java" />
          <include name="com/portalbook/portlets/**/*.java" />
          <include name="com/portalbook/portlets/content/**/*.java" />
     </javac>
</target>Second error is that the depends in there (clover-yes, clover-no) are not existing as targets in your xml.
