How determine if a file is locked?

Writing Macros
One of my macros saves open buffers, but it pops up an error message anytime it tries to save a file that is in use by another process, and I'd like to avoid that error message, by not trying to say that particular buffer. Is there a way to check a buffer and see if it is being used by another process?

I know no other means to know if a file is locked in java, than trying to save it and intercept the exception. In most UNIXs, you can make use of the lsof utility, but not in java...
So, if you intercept the exception that's raised when you try to save a locked file, you can anyway correct this situation avoiding the error message.
