What’s the easiest way to migrate one set of JRuby gems from one Windows
installed platform (1.6.0.RCsomething) to a newer one (1.6)? I’d use
RVM
gemsets for this on my Mac, and I’m not sure if Pik can do it.

Although tedious, simply moving or copying the lib/ruby/gems/1.8
directory between 1.6 installs should work fine.

One more tweaky step is that you’ll likely want to copy bin/ over as
well to get the matching gem .bat’s and ruby wrappers and then let the
new JRuby archive overwrite everything in bin/ to get the latest.
I do it all the time with the .tar.gz download and haven’t been
surprised yet other than blowing away my customizations to
bin/jirb_swing
