Where can I get Workbench 3 and why do I need it?

This Wolfram support article explains how to install the latest Workbench as an Eclipse plugin.

It is compatible with Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) and Mathematica 11.

Update November 2nd, 2016

The issue has obviously now been addressed by WRI and Workbench will not be a branded Eclipse IDE, but rather be a concurrent plug-in for Eclipse. They also updated the Website: Wolfram Workbench.

Maybe there has been some effect of posts like this one? :)

Update

Because I feel that @Szabolcs does have a point I will give a personal and thus "inofficial" answer to your question here, before giving the "official" answer as it can be obtained by reading publicly available information on WRI sites:

I have found that Workbench 2.0 does not support Mathematica Version 10 or higher and I have accordingly asked WRI for a Beta version of Workbench 3 which I was granted. I feel that this handing over a functioning version of Workbench has not been a pure act of goodwill, but rather my right as a customer, since WRI still advertises Workbench 2.0 as I have documented below with all legal implications imo.

The (inofficial) official answer to this question

You should not need Workbench 3.0 (according to WRI's official information on its website!) because as this screenshot from this very minute shows, Workbench 2 is the "state-of-the-art integrated development environment" (www.wolfram.com/products/workbench/):

Also note that in the Q&A on the same site as of this very minute it says:

WRI Q&A

So the obvious and decisive conclusion is that:

  • either your fellow users in the fora, Q&As and blogs in telling you that Workbench 2.0 does not support Version 10 or higher are wrong
  • or WRI is not telling the truth on its site with all what that might imply
