Maven in Azure DevOps can't find jar

I'm using an Azure DevOps YAML build pipeline to compile some java code. The java code uses azure-storage-blob

TL;DR

I can install a bunch of maven jar's but azure-storage-blob returns "Could not find artifact". I notice that it's path is https://repo1.maven.org, not https://repo.maven.org

More details

Among other things I have this in my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-security-keyvault-secrets</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-storage-blob</artifactId>
    <version>12.14.0</version>
</dependency>

part of maven output looks like this:

So it can successfully download a whole bunch of jars from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/microsoft/azure/

But it can't download just the blob jar in particular

What I have discovered is that this file doesn't exist:

https://repo.maven.org/maven2/com/azure/azure-storage-blob/12.14.0/azure-storage-blob-12.14.0.jar

(I assume this is where it's looking, but I can't get it to display it)

However this file does:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/azure/azure-storage-blob/12.14.0/azure-storage-blob-12.14.0.jar

Note this is repo1 not repo. I only found this because this Maven page specified it.

So I tried to force to look at repo1 by adding this to pom.xml

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </snapshots>
      <id>central1</id>
      <name>Maven Repository Switchboard</name>
      <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

The error changes to

Failed to collect dependencies at com.azure:azure-storage-blob:jar:12.4.0: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.azure:azure-storage-blob:jar:12.4.0: Could not transfer artifact com.azure:azure-storage-blob:pom:12.4.0 from/to maven-default-http-blocker (http://0.0.0.0/): Blocked mirror for repositories: [central1 (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, default

My questions are:

Can I get maven to display the URL it's downloading from?
Why would this file be at repo1 and not repo (the other files are at repo and not repo1)
If maven is so awesome why is this dumb thing happening and how can I fix it

Note that I'm using Azure DevOps and I don't have a lot of maven experience so I'm not sure if I can clear caches or clear local maven repos or anything like that. Also this an existing setup that I'm trying to get working.

Here's the parts of the YAML that matter:

trigger:
  paths:
    include:
      - "src/*"
      - "pom.xml"

stages:
- stage: Build
  jobs: 
    - job: mavenBuild
      pool:
        vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
      steps:
        - task: Maven@3
          inputs:
            mavenPomFile: 'pom.xml'
            mavenOptions: '-Xmx3072m'
            javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion'
            jdkVersionOption: '1.8'
            jdkArchitectureOption: 'x64'
            publishJUnitResults: true
            testResultsFiles: '**/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml'
            goals: 'package'

Solution

I found this issue in Azure Pipeline Could not find artifact com.azure:azure-storage-blob:jar:12.4.0 too.

I found something interesting from this maven link that is Jar (474KB) link has broken. So I changed com.azure:azure-storage-blob:jar version to the latest version 12.14.2.

it's work. Azure Pipelines can download this artifact from Maven Central Repo.
