I also think this is a good idea (I was always too lazy to do it.)

As far as names are concerned, I'd go with the same name already used by
the task with a 'set' suffix, i.e. for <java>/<junit>/<exec>, use
<envset>.

With <syspropertyset> and <envset>, both using a mapper with a prefix,
you can then easily configure the runtime environment of <junit> for
example, without changing the build script, by defining properties
(easily done in a user-specific way) like runtime-env.SOME_ENV_VAR and
runtime.SOME_PROPERTY. --DD
