I am trying to add an ingest module to the sleuth kit case using the available methods which are **addIngestModule** and **addIngestJob** but given the source code I read, it only adds the ingest job to the case without any method of triggering or starting the ingest job.

I don’t know if I am doing it in the wrong way or not, I wasn’t able to find any resources to explain how to implement an ingest module using the java bindings.
