I think there have been some issues found & fixed in beta-4 with 
imports. CVS HEAD is working nicely though.

Using CVS HEAD of Groovy with your script it ran fine (modified version 
below). Though when I uncommented the (1) line above, I got...

macstrac:/workspace/groovy-scratch2/src jstrachan$ groovy Swing.groovy
Caught: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property: CENTER on 
null object
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property: CENTER on null 
object

As 'SwingConstants' was not imported and is an undefined object.

Adding the import statement works.

import java.awt.FlowLayout
import javax.swing.*
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder

value = 1

setDisplay = {
	println "value is now: " + value
}

sw = new SwingBuilder()
frame = sw.frame( title:'Counter', size:[200,100]) {
  panel(layout:new FlowLayout() ) {
  display = textField( preferredSize:[200,30], 
horizontalAlignment:SwingConstants.CENTER ) //(1)
  button( text:"Inc", size:[65,70], actionPerformed:{ value++; 
setDisplay() } )
  button( text:"Clear", size:[65,70], actionPerformed:{ value=0; 
setDisplay() } )
  button( text:"Dec", size:[65,70], actionPerformed:{ value--; 
setDisplay() } )
  }
}

frame.show()
