Hey Kevin,
Not sure if you're aware of it, but you can specify the lock dir, so in
your example, both JVMs could use the exact same lock dir, as long as
you invoke the VMs with the same params.  

Most people won't do this or won't even understand WHY they need to do 
this :-/.

You shouldn't be writing the
same index with more than 1 IndexWriter though (not sure if this was
just a bad example or a real scenario).
 

Yes... I realize that you shouldn't use more than one IndexWriter. That 
was the point. The locks are to prevent this from happening. If one were 
to accidentally do this the locks would be in different directories and 
our IndexWriter would corrupt the index.

This is why I think it makes more sense to use our own java.io.tmpdir to 
be on the safe side.
