Can't set up bukkit server," '-jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command"?

When I try and set up a bukkit server i keep getting the error message:

"'-jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Press any key to continue . . ."

I'm running a 64bit operating system, and have java 7 installed.

The coding I'm using to try and run the craftbucket file is:

@ECHO OFF

SET BINDIR=%~dp0

CD /D "%BINDIR%"

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M

-jar craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar

PAUSE

Anyone got any suggestions on how i can make this work?

Thanks

    It looks like you may have a newline in there (just after -Xms1024M) that you didn't intend. That could cause the error you're seeing.

    If you are editing the batch file using Notepad, switch to Wordpad. Some versions of Notepad automatically insert newlines to get the text to wrap, and that tends to mess stuff up. Wordpad doesn't do that.
