How to use the Jenkins MSBuild plugin in a Jenkins file?

Question

I have Jenkins v2.60.3 with the MSBuild v1.27 plugin installed on Windows.

I configured the path to mine msbuild.exein the global Jenkins tool setup. I also installed a multi-tap in Jenkins, which successfully relayed Jenkinsfilefrom git.

My question is: How do I enable the MSBuild plugin as a step in mine Jenkinsfile?

Please note that I know that I can use it msbuild.exedirectly as a batch step of Windows, but if possible, I prefer to use the MSBuild plugin. `

It looks like MSBuild is not yet supported by the https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-plugin/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.md pipeline

You can try this for this time. https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-examples/blob/master/jenkinsfile-examples/msbuild/Jenkinsfile
