Can someone provide an example of a VBP step that issues a build command to Jenkins?

There are discussions in a number of forums and other websites on how to use VBP to issue build commands to Jenkins.

However, I was hoping someone could show a specific example of a VBP step that issues a build command to Jenkins, which would include the selected options, dropdowns, code, and other information contained within such a step.

The Jenkins "Remote Access API" page ( https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API ) appears to say VBP can use XML to invoke Jenkins, but its examples use JSON to invoke Jenkins.

We are most familiar with XML - how might VBP use XML to invoke Jenkins? (assuming Jenkins invocation by XML is possible).
