I am having Java7 sdk in my windows 32 system.

NoSuchFieldError exceptions are thrown "if an application tries to access or modify a specified field of an object, and that object no longer has that field". In this case, it's likely the jar was compiled against one version of java (or other dependency) and you're using a different version that is not compatible.
I'd suggest updating to Java8 since support for Java7 ended as of April 2015. Also, check your version of jetty (since the last call outside the JVM was caused by org.eclipse.jetty.util.DateCache.<init>(DateCache.java:88)) to make sure it's compatible.
