Ok, Thanks for these clarifications. I have tried to change type as jar as you proposed and it works, even without my workaround.
I am working with m2eclipse and I think that he is as confused as I was. He is still searching for alog4j.bundle ... It works great with CLI maven though. So I guess I will talk with the guys of m2eclipse now.
