Our goal for Sencha IDE Plugins is to streamline the development process for developers using Sencha Ext JS and popular IDEs. Our plugins help developers to build Ext JS web applications faster. We’re excited to announce that the early access versions of Sencha Visual Studio Plugin and Eclipse Plugin are now available.

I submitted a downloading request for Eclipse Plugin few times, but I have not received anything yet.
Please send it to my email above. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and email. Good to hear that you are now able to download the plugin.
I have used the early adopter request form. I get emailed the download link but get a File Not Found at the provided URL.
Does the email address we use need to match the one associated with our support account profile?
Emails do not need to match. If you are still having issues, please email me directly at travis@sencha.com and I will make sure you get a download link.
Testing for free, no way !!!
Sencha products are too expensive for me to test it for free
Sadly, so true …
VS plugin continually crashed projects in VS2015.
Please post issues with the EA plugins to the forum – bit.ly/1MRSFaL
We’re actively monitoring and will be sure to address/correct any problem you’re encountering.
More plugins! But when we see an updated Sencha Architect. That is the real productivity booster for me!
We’re making progress on Architect 6. Look for a release in Q1 of 2016. We’ll have a more precise estimate as we get closer.
What version of Eclipse is this plugin compatible with?
Sorry, just found the answer in the IDE Plugin Guides – Luna and Mars
