How can i edit the code behind a appian project. Is it possible to get the project opened in a IDE and customize it as we wish

Question

I just was creating a sample appian project which adds task to different roles. I found that the appian adds a accept or reassign slider on the header by default. 
 What must I do to remove it or change any similar things which are part of the appian framework. 
 I found that they are basically java based applications. So is it possible that I can edit the project in a IDE like eclipse. 
 Any guidance as to where to look at to customize everything about a appian project is much appreciated.

Thanks

While many portions of the Appian platform are based on Java, modifying the base product code is not supported in anyway. It can also lead to you not being able to upgrade in the future or get assistance from Appian's support team as they will no longer be able to support base product functionality under a customized environment. 
 
 Back to your task question, I suggest you look through some of the documentation on how task assignment works within Appian. When assigning a task to a group of users, the individual who will work that task must accept it, thus taking the task out of everyone else's queue. If you are assigning a task to an individual, they will not see the dialog as they are the only user that can access that task.
