Native Build Tools cannot recognize Maven modules that only have `pom.xml` but no source code

**Before reporting**

- This repository should be used to report **issues on the Maven or Gradle plugins for GraalVM**.
- Please report issues which are specific to [the Spring Framework](https://spring.io/) or [the Micronaut framework](https://micronaut.io/) to their specific repositories.
- Do not report issues with building your specific application, e.g errors which happen at image build time like classes initialized at build time, or missing classes as run time: those are not related to the plugins but problems with configuration. You can refer to the [GraalVM native image documentation](https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/) for available options and the [plugins documentation](https://graalvm.github.io/native-build-tools) for how to use them with the plugin.

**Describe the bug**
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
**Make sure that you have read [the documentation](https://graalvm.github.io/native-build-tools) and that you are using the latest plugin version.**

- Native Build Tools cannot recognize Maven modules that only have `pom.xml` but no source code.

**To Reproduce**

When possible, provide a link to a repository which reproduces the issue, with instructions on how to use.
The reproducer **must** make use of either the Maven or Gradle plugin.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

- I created a minimal reproducible unit test at https://github.com/linghengqian/nbt-dependency-without-source-test. Execute the following PowerShell 7 command on the `Windows 11` instance with `PowerShell/PowerShell`,
  `version-fox/vfox`, `git-for-windows/git`, `Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community` installed.

```shell
vfox add java
vfox install java@22.0.2-graalce
vfox use --global java@22.0.2-graalce

git clone git@github.com:linghengqian/nbt-dependency-without-source-test.git
cd ./nbt-dependency-without-source-test/
./mvnw -PnativeTestInCustom -e -T 1C clean test
```

- For Ubuntu, this can be replaced by `SDKMAN!`.
- By executing `./mvnw clean test -T 1C`, I can confirm that this bug does not exist when GraalVM Native Image is not compiled.

Please use backticks to [properly format code](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#syntax-highlighting).
If possible please attach a complete reproducer here (either as [a zip file](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/attaching-files) or as a link to public repository/branch).

**Expected behavior**
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

- Native Build Tools can normally recognize Maven modules with only "pom.xml" but no source code when compiling GraalVM Native Image.

**Logs**
Add logs to help explain your problem. 
Please use backticks to [properly format big logs](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#fenced-code-blocks).
