I grew up in a country where Jack Fruit is a national fruit.  So, I know a little bit about it.  Jack Fruit seeds germinate easily.  I even saw little trees (about a foot tall) - already grown inside a fruit which still hanging on the tree itself.  Not sure - where are you at - but it needs tropical weather to survive.  Putting a pot is possible but in the nature - they grow fast and big - sometimes 30-40 feet tall and about same width.  Fruiting begins when they are 4-5 years old.  For the first few years - the fruits tend not to ripe at all and dries up.  I seen it few times.  Also, some trees produce mediocre  fruits - even when they are quite old.

Good Luck.  

Last month I havested a 40kg fruit from my backyard tree...
