No you don't. You essentially want to go with the interface approach, as
the prior responders to myself have said.
Java does not have a concept of a function pointer or method handle. It
is possible to emulate this to some degree with reflection, but if you
are contemplating calling Method.invoke, you are almost always doing
something wrong.

Why are you having static methods (on the same class, I presume) for two
different ways of parsing instead of using separate parser classes?
