 \section{Shortcomings}
+This section is introduced naturally with a conclusion: The JDT refactoring 
+implementation does not facilitate composition of refactorings. This section 
+will try to explain why, and also identify other shortcomings of both the 
+usability and the readability of the JDT refactoring source code.
+
+I will begin at the end and work my way toward the composition part of this 
+section.
+
+\subsubsection{Absence of Generics in Eclipse Source Code}
+This section is not only concerning the JDT refactoring API, but also large 
+quantities of the Eclipse source code. The code shows a striking absence of the 
+Java language feature of generics. It is hard to read a class' interface when 
+methods return objects of types such as \type{List} or \type{Map}.  This 
+sometimes results in having to read a lot of source code to understand what is 
+going on, instead of relying on the available interfaces. In addition, it makes 
+the use of typecasting more of a rule than an exception.
