The DTEDLayer and the AreaShapeLayer do not completely implement the
PropertyConsumer interface, namely the getProperties() method. There
are some layers in the package where implementing this method is still
on the to-do list, and unfortunately, those are two of them.

Same thing as above, but you also have to add a property for the file
name to your layer, read in the setProperties method and saved out in
the getProperties method.
