You don't say which container you're using. We just had this problem with
WebLogic (the EAR file that we deploy was very large, leading to deployment
times of 30+ minutes). Our solution to this was to place as many of the JARs
as possible in the "system" classpath (a classpath that the container makes
available to your applications on startup). This also had the benefit of
allowing more hot-deployments between server restarts.
If you go this route, you will lose the ability to hot deploy the dependencies
that you exclude.
You can accomplish this by marking your dependencies "provided":
<dependency>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>foo</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Subject: Re: Want to exclude extra jars from war.
you have to add excludes sections to each of the dependencies that are
dragging them in...
of course, these dependencies should be dragging them in for a reason
(such as being required in order to function)
so one has to conclude either:
* you are trying to exclude them incorrectly
or
* the poms are listing optional dependencies as non-optional
