The list of installed JRE's is empty, when I click "add" the only options I'm given are - Execution Environment Description, Standard 1.1.x VM, Standard VM.

There's no option for a MacOS Default JRE and choosing standard VM results in the usual "Standard VM not supported on MacOS".

Eclipse Galileo, Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Any suggestions much appreciated

I just had the same problem and I was able to fix it. I had installed Eclipse for PHP (PDT) because I couldn't get PDT to work with Eclipse classic. I then found out that with the new install, Java files won't run! But there's a simple solution:

Go to Help->Install New Software...

Select:

Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo

Under Programming Languages choose:

Eclipse Java Development Tools 3.5.1.r351_v20090810-0600-7r88FEoFI0WTo6Az-1qFRHm37ChJ

Install and you'll find your JREs!
