@MenuItem("GameObject/Create Material")
static function CreateMaterial () {
// Create a simple material asset
 var material = new Material (Shader.Find("Specular"));
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(material, "Assets/MyMaterial.mat");

// Add an animation clip to it
 var animationClip = new AnimationClip ();
animationClip.name = "My Clip";
AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset(animationClip, material);

// Reimport the asset after adding an object.
 // Otherwise the change only shows up when saving the project
 AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(animationClip));

// Print the path of the created asset
 Debug.Log(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(material));
