Looks like you have copy-pased the command from the internet, cause the character before jar isn't an actual dash, it is a special unicode character that looks similar to an dash, but isn't (thank you Microsoft). To be more specific it is the character en-dash (U+2013).

So if you replace the incorrect dash with the correct one -, the command will work:

Java -jar Jenkins.war

Note that you might need to type this yourself since some browsers (looking at you IE) may auto convert to incorrect characters!
