Run mvn clean install in Eclipse

Question

Title says it all   I want to run the console command mvn clean install on my project in question directly in Eclipse  not from the command line   It would just be more convenient for me to do this  as I already have the project open in Eclipse   It would save me time if I would not have to navigate to the folder in Windows Explorer   Not a big deal if I can t do this    but can I   And if so  how   It would be great if I could just right click my project  then click  mvn clean install  from the context menu
