The groovy eclipse tutorial launches off in the direction of making a class.

In the new Groovy Class Wizard, there is a checkbox to create a script instead of a class:
Alternatively, you can create a regular class and delete all the contents except for the package statement. That is a script.
A couple of points, though. The script should be in a source folder with a proper package statement if not in the default package. If not, you will not have any editing support for your script.
