          Based on the BPMN standard, it could refer to the type of message: interrupting, non-Interrupting, throw, catch... but the examples show that concerns the origin of the message, may be!

            Actually, the Drools plugin is not using BPMN2 semantics, so in this case this should probably be more like a BPMN2 signal event node.  The event type describes the type of event the node is listening for.  For example, if your event node is waiting for type "MyType", and you do processInstance.signalEvent("MyType", data) this node will be activated.
