This is not the best approach. It means you'll have your own private
version of the driver. Better approach is to create separate build
target for 1.1.8 driver and let it build from the same codebase, but
apply some transformations to java files before feeding them to the
compiler.

This is Type 3 driver and it works. If your requirements are modest it
will work for you.
