Okay I figured it out. Again, the lack of documentation is costing hours.
I found out that when you want a Specific Configuration for the plugin, you have to choose between:
1) Using a class variable $pluginConfig.
(examples: AUPost, USPS)
OR
2) Using a PLUGINNAME_configuration.php file
(examples: CANPar, Envoimoinscher, Fedex)
I was using both, so the code chose the first one, which I made to be empty. Thus, nothing showed.
The purpose of $pluginConfig wasn't documented anywhere so I could only guess what it was for.
