well the spaces seperate the words, you could easily come up with things that just include all those words but out of order and seperated by countless other words, if you do "what is linux kernel" with the quotes you will come up with things that include that phrase as is, if it said "what linux kernel is" that wont show up

android sdk and eclipse no. jvm yes. cyanogenmod just requires the tools to compile java(jvm) and c code(i dont remember what its called but i think it started with a g lol) the cm code has everything else you need built in. compiling mods for stock roms only really requires jvm, apktool, the android kitchen, and either a photo editor, a good text editor, or both
