The fowlloing two methods are defined in org.osgi.framework.Bundle:
URL getResource(String name);
URL getEntry(String path);

So my question is what's the difference between these two methods and what is an "Entry" in a bundle?

getResource uses the bundle's class loader to load a resource. This resource could come from imported constraints (Import-Package, Require-Bundle) or from the local bundle classpath.

getEntry only searches the bundles jar files itself and does not consider any constraints or the bundle's class path (Bundle-ClassPath header).

HTH
