The AST library can read STC-S and create objects from them that can
be used in all sorts of ways. AST is written in C but Mark Taylor has
written a JNI interface for it (JNIAST). See
http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink/AST for general info on AST
and  http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink/AST#stcdemo for
specifics about the STC-S support.
