Be sure to check that you got the settings references in mf-layer.xml
and the .settings files as well.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "tell it what the properties types
are".   The BeanInfo identifies the properties and which property customizer
to use for each; the Settings file provides the actual persistence of
default values for each setting. Then the rest is up to the module (to
look up the settings values and do the right thing.)
