This is only a subset of the allowed syntax. You can have multiple
alpha,rc,pl,... parts for example.

Ok. Next try:

[0-9]+(([.]|alpha|beta|rc|pre|pl)[0-9]+)*[a-z]?(nb[0-9]+)?

Can [a-z] be also repeated?


An observation: that last part will match nb0 (which doesn't/can't occur AFAIK). Maybe

        (nb[1-9]([0-9]+)?)?

for that last piece.
