It seems like what you might have here is a use for FutureTask. Your main thread will create the FutureTask and do a timed get() to wait for the result. You pass the FutureTask to your parseThread and it does the actual parsing and upon completion marks the Future task as done.

Also take (another?) look at chapter 6 of JCiP, especially section 6.3, which has an extended example of an activity that waits for another to complete.
