Any trailing URL segment is treated as <type>. Erroneous POM dependency snippet generated.

• What are you trying to do?

1. Visit https://search.maven.org
2. Search for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core or simply jackson-core
3. Click Latest Version of 2.11.0 (the link is https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core/2.11.0/bundle)
4. This leads me to the result page. And it seems that the backend treats any trailing string as the <type> of the dependency (which is confusing enough), and generates the following POM snippet:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.11.0</version>
  <type>bundle</type>
</dependency>

Use this snippet in any pom.xml, and mvn compile complains:

Could not resolve dependencies for project xxx:
Failure to find com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:bundle:2.11.0 in 
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be 
reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced

• What feature or behavior is this required for?

• How could we solve this issue? (Not knowing is okay!)

• Anything else?

You can literally generate

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
  <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.11.0</version>
  <type>WHAT-EVER-TYPE-YOU-WANT</type>
</dependency>

by visiting https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core/2.11.0/WHAT-EVER-TYPE-YOU-WANT
