PluginVersionResolutionException in Maven project when I set packaging to bundle - maven

Question

In my Maven project when I change the packaging type from 'jar' to 'bundle' most of my plugins (compiler, deploy, install, resources, surefire) lose their versions. Why is this?
My pom.xml is below:
<groupId>org.wso2.carbon</groupId>
<artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.ui_4.4.35_patch</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>bundle</packaging>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.2.1</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<Bundle-SymbolicName>${project.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
<Bundle-Name>${project.artifactId}</Bundle-Name>
<Export-Package>web.admin.*</Export-Package>
</instructions>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

There are two possible approaches. The one I use for my own projects is to keep the bundle packaging and add the maven plugin versions to a pluginManagement section in the pom.xml. For example:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.2</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8.2</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
<!-- Add you current 'plugins' section here. -->
</build>
In addition to the version, you can also add configuration to each plugin. If your project has a parent pom, it would be natural to add the pluginManagement section there instead of in your bundle module.
Alternatively, as suggested by #khmarbaise, you can use jar packaging and just use the maven-bundle-plugin to generate the manifest. That approach is described in the plugin documentation page.
