My guess is that the reason it gets selected by p2 is that the version

  3.10.0.v_OTDT_r230_201406101339

is lexically greater than

  3.10.0.v20140604-1726

since '_' (0x5f) is greater than '2' (0x32)

This is intended and required to make the patch feature work.
Please note that this has not changed since Juno.
My prior builds referenced the platform first and the release train second. This build didn't do that. Reinstating that order makes the problem go away.


Is your build including the feature org.eclipse.objectteams.otdt.core.patch.feature.group?
No.

If that's not explicitly included and the OTDT variant is still selected,
then someone is preferring a solution with unmet dependencies over another
solution that is good indeed. Could be a bug in p2. I don't know.

Don't think it's p2's nor OTDT's fault and it will work OK when installing. It fails when using tools like Buckminster or Tycho to populate the target platform since they don't use the SAT resolver and are unaware of true capability resolution. Highest version wins and that's it.
