Java can't find ECIES, even through it's in the Bouncy Castle jar

Question

I'm trying to test-out ECIES, by adapting code from: https://gist.github.com/amrishodiq/9821413 and https://github.com/VictorThompson/t-encryption/blob/master/src/ECIESexample.java

I get the error:

Exception in thread "main" java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Cannot find any provider supporting ECIES
    at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(Cipher.java:540)
    at Ecies.encrypt(Ecies.java:51)
    at Ecies.main(Ecies.java:21)

even though ECIES is in the jar:

$ jar tvf bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar | grep ECIES

What am I doing wrong?
