<JENE is the virtuality sitting on top of Sun's JINI.> So JENE will provide the connectivity to hardware devices?

Not quite. Jini sits on top of Java. You could consider it a protocol or framework for devices to communicate. The devices pass Java code around so other devices can make use of their services (i.e. a printer would provide a Java-based driver so a digital camera would know how to print to it). If JENE is a compatible implementation of EmbeddedJava then it could be used as the underlying Java layer on Jini-enabled devices.
