jackpot is "just" a library which happens to be the refactoring engine
of NetBeans.
It can be used in NB, outside NB and certainly also via the language
server protocol.
It can inspect code and print warnings. But it can also inspect code and
suggest refactorings since it is a tool built on top of javac.
The result of this all can be a simple warning in your shell/of your
build, a light bulb in NetBeans or a generated patch from a command line
tool.
here an old blog entry young me wrote over a decade ago (using jackpot
via CLI):
https://mbien.dev/blog/entry/you_have_won_the_jackpot
readme explains where to put the hint files if used in NB:
https://github.com/mbien/jackpot-inspections
sidenote: the code inspections shipped with NB don't really use hint
files, the rules are put in annotations but that is a minor detail.
hope that helps,
michael

Always welcome to have guidance with java development. Good job…
I found the netbeans jackpot site (https://netbeans.apache.org/jackpot/) to
be a good starting point for additional information on this. But I had
follow up question w…what is the use case for jackpot. Is it intended to be
(1) part of netbeans (if so why is it being released separate from netbeans
and/or nb-javac module),
(2) plugin for netbeans,
(3) a component of netbeans platform usable elsewhere (i.e. in other
applications - VSCode?), or
(4) a build add on (i.e. mvn) to run during compilation and/or build time
to provide hints going forward?
(5) all of the above
Assume this also allows user defined rules to be added, but not sure if
that is for specific user environments (where they added new rules) or is
the intent new rules are added and integrated back into jackpot rule set?
