Java doesn't have structs.  However, you can define a class SS and a class
Test like this:

public class ss {
  private int sType;
  private String sDesc;
  private int sValue;
  ...
}

public class test {
   int qType;
   int qVers;
   int qMem;
   ss[] ssList = new ss[10];
   int qfinal;
   ... 
}

*Not tested, I'm not certain I got the array definition syntax correct*
