If I specify a dependency that is a "jar", what I see in my local repo is an actual jar file, along with several other metadata files. If I instead specify a "bundle" dependency, I see various metadata files, but no jar file. I was under the impression that a "bundle" type is just a jar file with an OSGi manifest.

When I look on the repo that I get the artifact from, I see the jar file that I expect to see. Why isn't Maven installing the actual jar file in my local repo when I do a build?

However, I also note that I'm reporting something as a "jar" or a "bundle" depending on what the m2e dependency search reports. I later tried simply changing the "type" from "bundle" to "jar", and that downloaded the jar. What is the point of having a bundle dependency that doesn't download the actual artifact?
