I don't use M2 with Eclipse, so I can't answer this specifically.

This is a "newish" thing for Maven. Several bundles include sources,
and some even include javadocs. You happened to pick a project which
has not chosen to include its sources at this point. This will
hopefully change as more projects use the "mvn source:jar javadoc:jar
repository:bundle-create" rather than simply bundle-create.

The Maven developers responsible for uploading artifacts into Maven
repo are starting to ask that sources be included in bundles. At some
point, perhaps they will even require it, unless the source code
itself cannot be distributed for license reasons.
