Note that this PR would contradict the class' Javadoc:
```
/**
* FileWriter that will create and honor lock files to allow simple
* cross thread file lock handling.
* <p>
* This class provides a simple alternative to <code>FileWriter</code>
* that will use a lock file to prevent duplicate writes.
* <p>
* <b>N.B.</b> the lock file is deleted when {@link #close()} is called
* - or if the main file cannot be opened initially.
* In the (unlikely) event that the lockfile cannot be deleted,
* this is not reported, and subsequent requests using
* the same lockfile will fail.
* <p>
* By default, the file will be overwritten, but this may be changed to
append.
* The lock directory may be specified, but defaults to the system property
* <code>java.io.tmpdir</code>.
* The encoding may also be specified, and defaults to the platform default.
*
