Yes Felix maven-war-plugin does include the transitive dependencies. For a transitive dependency of a plugin, the way(workaround) I found and using is to declare that dependency explicitly in your pom.xml and declare it to be available at only compile time ( <scope> tag).
For the transitive dependencies of the rest of the dependencies I am using <exclusion> tag with in the dependency tag. That probably be not the sanest way of it, but this was what I could find out with the help of other maven users here on the list.
