YAML from pipeline 

- task: Maven@3
  displayName: 'Code Compilation'
  inputs:
    mavenPomFile: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/solution/core/build/maven/pom.xml'
    options: '-s $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/solution/core/build/maven/settings.xml'
    goals: package
    mavenAuthenticateFeed: true

You are not allowed (m 401 Unauthorized - to access the given repository)... myworld.pkgs.visualstudio.com ??? — khmarbaise

....401 Unauthorized

The 401 error is an authentication error.

Add the Maven Authenticate task before calling Maven task. The Maven Authenticate task can provide credentials for Azure Artifacts feeds and external Maven repositories in the current user's settings.xml file.

If your azure artifacts are in the same Collection, you can directly select the corresponding feed in drop down list.

If yours is external azure artifacts(e.g. Azure Devops Service), you need to create a service connection(maven) in Porject Settings -> Service Connections.

Update:

If you couldn't use Maven Authenticate task, you could try the following steps to use the Settings.xml file.

Step1: Create a Setting.xml file.

You could navigate to Azure Devops Service -> Artifacts -> Connect to feed -> Maven.

Step2: In you Azure Devops Server, you could save your settings.xml to the path

%USERPROFILE%\.m2\settings.xml

You could refer to this doc.

On the other hand, when you add option to the Maven task.

For example:

- task: Maven@3
  displayName: 'Maven pom.xml'
  inputs:
   ...
    options: '-s filepath/settings.xml'
