I think the reason for that is, that you can this way detect if the process is still running: if it is locked, then it is running. Of course this makes it hard to read the file. To work around this I guess a native library is needed. (Or you execute "cmd /C type file.pid"). Not sure if any component offers this (might be a good addition to commons-daemon).
