If you want to preview the report then right click on 'opened tab' (example: if you want to see the preview of DayReport.jrxml then open it and right click on that tab) and select the editor menu, then you can preview, designer or see the xml of your report

I also had the same issue. I'm using Netbeans 8.0.1 version and I firstly downloaded and installed iReport 5.6 from sourceforge. But when I tried to create the report I also noticed that I 'm having only the xml. Preview and Design buttons were not there.

So then I remove the installed plugins (.nbm files) and downloaded this from Netbeans and reinstalled the plugin.

Then it worked perfectly for me. So my thought is, your plugin might missing some files.. so better if you can remove that and re-download the plugin from here.

Your designer preview is not available because the ireports netbeans plugin has not been added properly.

you can download is here : http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/4425/ireport

then go to netbeans -> tools -> plugins -> downloaded -> Add plugins... and select the downloaded plugin and go through the wizard
