Simple Java Program to Write to a Zip File.

This Program takes a Zip file Directory and a Zip file name as Input.
'writeAsZip()' method writes an Array of Bytes as a Zip Entry to the Zip file.
Suppose a zip file 'D:\\test\\cb-1-zip.zip' is has two constituents, namely : 'a.txt' and 'b.png'
This zip File is read and contents stored in a hashMap by 'ZipFileReader'.The size of hashmap is now 2, containing bytes[] of a.txt and b.png

'write()' method takes bytes[] array and name of the file entry to be written to t he Zip file.

Each entry is closed by calling ZipOutputStream#closeEntry() method. Once closeEntry() is called , ZipOutputStream is ready for addition of a new Zip Entry.

Finally ZipOutpurStream#close() method is called. This method finally closes the stream
If the program misses to call 'close()' then a fautly zip file is written to the file system, that is corrupt and perhaps cannot be used. ZipOutpurStream#close() adds the required stream terminating characters.
