ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
JRE 7u45 for MacOS X
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2596477
Per the Deployment Rule Set packaging instructions:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_rules.html#package
"Install the DeploymentRuleSet.jar file on your users' systems in the following directories:
On Windows platforms, install the file in the <Windows-directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment directory, for example, c:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment.
On Mac OS X and UNIX platforms, install the file in the /etc/.java/deployment directory.
To view the active rule set, see the Security section of Java Control Panel."
I am able to use and view the rule set on Windows and Linux platforms, but the deployment rule set is not seen under MacOS X (10.9 Mavericks).
I placed it in:
/etc/.java/deployment/DeploymentRuleSet.jar and yes, it is properly signed, in the correct format, etc. Identical file works fine under Windows and Linux.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Per instructions
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_rules.html
Create a ruleset.xml containing valid rules and add it to DeploymentRuleSet.jar and sign with a valid code signing certificate.
Place DeploymentRuleSet.jar in /etc/.java/deployment
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Able to see the deployed ruleset in the Java Control Panel and have the rules be effective.
ACTUAL -
The ruleset is simply not found or is ignored. I suspect the Jav Plugin is simply looking in some other place for the file.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
None -- it just quietly doesn't work.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
