Gaurav, there's nothing in your GanymedeBuilderTask subclass that
indicates a problem with oldLastRunTime.  Nothing in the
GanymedeBuilderTask class itself indicates that oldLastRunTime should
not be set on the second and subsequent times that a builder task is
run.

So, I have to ask.. are you trying to run builderPhase1() yourself,
rather than letting the Ganymede scheduler run your task for you?

That's about the only thing I can think of for you to have your
builderPhase1() code run in a context where oldLastRunTime should not
be set.

Beyond that, the only thing I can think of is that you are mistaken
about it being null, and that something else is coming up null.  I
see in your Serial_number_task that you are just doing a

	System.out.println(date_last);

are you sure that this is the println that is being passed the null
value?

You don't ever do something to clear Serial_number_task.oldLastRunTime
someplace else, do you?

Was the file you sent the entirety of Serial_number_task?
