     * <p>This calculation is only a heuristic based on our conventions.
     * In detail, the algo relies on the following assumptions: <ul>

     * <li>The module path to the child is considered to

     * builds an empty map.

     * <p>If the {@code resolve} parameter value is {@code false}, then some or all map values may
     * be null instead of the actual module name. This option can avoid the cost of reading module
     * descriptors when only the modules existence needs to be verified.</p>
     *
     * <p><b>Algorithm:</b>
     * If the given path is a directory, then there is a choice:

            dependencies in this section are not immediately resolved. Instead, when a POM derived
            from this one declares a dependency described by a matching groupId and artifactId, the
            version and other values from this section are used for that dependency if they were not
            already specified.</description>
