• no support for generics.
• no support for constructors (considered as method init) 
• no AST structural matching. (e.g loops ...)
• no variable binding/unification
• set operators (union, intersection)
• support for read/write of fields references

• structural matching: all AST hiearchy can be queried through Xpath expression
• can't express subtype relations. E.g. assignments where RHS is supertype of left handside and different
• no variable binding
• support generic constructors but not bind it to enclosing class: //ConstructorDeclaration//TypeParameters
