Download this Jar file from the below link and paste it on the desktop.

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/detail?name=selenium-server-standalone-2.28.0.jar&can=2&q=

then type the following in the command prompt and run this jar.

cd desktop java -jar typejarname

after this the jar will start running. now execute the code and see whether it is working or not.

Just from the error message, it looks like your -jar argument has something other than - as the first character, probably an en-dash. It would then interpret –jar as a class to search for on the class path. Attempting this yields the same error message for me, modulo whatever encoding transformation is happening to the error message on your system.
