The current documentation states that the types of the Inputs are limited to certain Java types, including arrays and lists of those types.

However, I observe in the source tree in a automation/moduletypes/ definition:

{  
   "conditions":[  
      {  
         "uid":"ItemStateEventCondition",
         "label":"ItemStateEvent Condition",
         "description":"checks if an item event was a state event and compares the new state",
         "configDescriptions":[  
            {  
               "name":"itemName",
               "type":"TEXT",
               "context":"item",
               "label":"Item Name",
               "description":"The itemName which should match",
               "required":true
            },
            {  
               "name":"state",
               "type":"TEXT",
               "label":"State",
               "description":"The state which should match",
               "required":true
            }
         ],
         "inputs":[  
            {  
               "name":"event",
             "type":"org.eclipse.smarthome.core.events.Event",
               "description":"the event of the item state change",
               "label":"event",
               "required":true
            }
         ],

...

with:

"type":"org.eclipse.smarthome.core.events.Event",

Does that effectively mean that any type of input can be provided to Modules?
