How to do 'mvn compile' and 'mvn package' with m2e in Eclipse?

Question

I've started this week to use Maven for some projects I'm working on and I use Eclipse with the m2e plugin. I've been having a look at it but I can't find a way to compile and package (as far as I can see I can do clean, generate-sources, test and install). How can this be achieved with m2e?
