Setting clonevm to true will copy over all system properties - but a
bunch of other settings as well. Whether this is good enought for you is
unclear to me.

A nested

<syspropertyset>
  <propertyref builtin="system"/>
</syspropertyset>

will only copy the system properties.

As you say you are using similar <java> tasks several times during the
build it may be a good idea to <presetdef> a new task with all the
proper defaults already configured in.
