bouncycastle provider can't find classes needed for algorithm

I'm trying to use bouncycastle to encrypt a file using a public key. I've registered the provider programatically:

Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());

I created the public key object successfully.

when i get to encrypting the file using a PGPEncryptedDataGenerator and the key I get a ClassNotFound exception.

It seems the provider can't find this class at runtime, though I know for sure I have its jar...

I'm running my app on tomcat. Using maven to handle dependencies - the bouncy castle jars I put are bcpg, bcprov, bcmail, bctsp. I tried using both the 1.4 and the 1.6 versions without success. I used the "dependency hierarchy" in maven plugin for eclipse and exclusions in the pom to make sure that there are no multiple versions of bouncycastle in my project.

This is the stack trace:

org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPException: exception encrypting session key

You need to add javapns.jar and bcprove-jdk15on-1.47.jar file in your lib folder

import javapns.Push;

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;

public class SendPushNotification {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {

        BasicConfigurator.configure();
        Push.alert("Hello World!", "Cetificate.p12", "password", false,
                "mydeviceToken");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
    }

   }
