      Deprecated. this method leaks resources
      Creates an archive `target` using the format `format` by recursively including all files and directories in `directory`.

      This method creates a wrapper around the target stream which is never closed and thus leaks resources, please use `create(String,OutputStream,File,CloseableConsumer)` instead.

      Parameters:
        `format` - the archive format. This uses the same format as accepted by `ArchiveStreamFactory`.
        `target` - the stream to write the new archive to.
        `directory` - the directory that contains the files to archive.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs
        `ArchiveException` - if the archive cannot be created for other reasons

                      throws IOException,
                             ArchiveException

      Creates an archive `target` using the format `format` by recursively including all files and directories in `directory`.

      This method creates a wrapper around the archive stream and the caller of this method is responsible for closing it - probably at the same time as closing the stream itself. The caller is informed about the wrapper object via the `closeableConsumer` callback as soon as it is no longer needed by this class.

      Parameters:
        `format` - the archive format. This uses the same format as accepted by `ArchiveStreamFactory`.
        `target` - the stream to write the new archive to.
        `directory` - the directory that contains the files to archive.
        `closeableConsumer` - is informed about the stream wrapped around the passed in stream
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs
        `ArchiveException` - if the archive cannot be created for other reasons
