$this->settings empty in Extbase extension

Question

recently I created an extension with the new Extension Builder (TYPO3 6.0, Extbase 6.0). To see if the setup.txt works I added a simple line to it:

plugin.tx_myext {
view {
    templateRootPath = {$plugin.tx_kremsimpressions.view.templateRootPath}
    partialRootPath = {$plugin.tx_kremsimpressions.view.partialRootPath}
    layoutRootPath = {$plugin.tx_kremsimpressions.view.layoutRootPath}
}
persistence {
    storagePid = {$plugin.tx_kremsimpressions.persistence.storagePid}
}
features {
    # uncomment the following line to enable the new Property Mapper.
    # rewrittenPropertyMapper = 1
}

settings {
    foo = bar
}
}

Now I try to get to this in the controller by calling $this->settings['foo']. The problem is: The whole settings array is empty. Also I tried {setting.foo} in the fluid template, also empty.

So the simple question is, what am I doing wrong? I wrote on several sites that it should work just like this.

Thnx for your help.

Did you clear all caches?

Settings for extensions by default are stored in external files, so every change requires clearing whole cache.

Have you included the extension template in main template? The setup is not loaded automatically. – Merec May 02 '13 at 12:21
O.K, that's a little bit emberassing your right: I forgot to include the static template, it works now. – Florian Rachor May 07 '13 at 12:20

Include the static template of the extension. See here the tutorial.
