protected ErrorDetail(String message,
                      List<Object> sources,
                      Throwable cause)
```
- Method Detail
  - isMergeable
```
public boolean isMergeable(ErrorDetail<?> otherError)
```
    Returns true if this error can be merged with the otherError and formatted together.
    By default this return false and implementations that support merging with other errors should override this method.
  - format
```
public final void format(int index,
                         List<ErrorDetail<?>> mergeableErrors,
                         Formatter formatter)
```
    Formats this error along with other errors that are mergeable with this error.
    mergeableErrors is a list that contains all other errors that are reported in the same exception that are considered to be mergable with this error base on result of calling isMergeable(com.google.inject.spi.ErrorDetail<?>). The list will be empty if non of the other errors are mergable with this error.
    Formatted error has the following structure:
    
    Summary of the error
    Details about the error such as the source of the error
    Hints for fixing the error if available
    Link to the documentation on this error in greater detail
    Parameters:
    
    index - index for this error
    
    mergeableErrors - list of errors that are mergeable with this error
    
    formatter - for printing the error message
  - formatDetail
```
protected abstract void formatDetail(List<ErrorDetail<?>> mergeableErrors,
                                     Formatter formatter)
```
    Formats the detail of this error message along with other errors that are mergeable with this error. This is called from format(int, java.util.List<com.google.inject.spi.ErrorDetail<?>>, java.util.Formatter).
    mergeableErrors is a list that contains all other errors that are reported in the same exception that are considered to be mergable with this error base on result of calling isMergeable(com.google.inject.spi.ErrorDetail<?>). The list will be empty if non of the other errors are mergable with this error.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mergeableErrors - list of errors that are mergeable with this error
    
    formatter - for printing the error message
  - getLearnMoreLink
```
protected Optional<String> getLearnMoreLink()
```
    Returns an optional link to additional documentation about this error to be included in the formatted error message.
  - getErrorIdentifier
```
protected Optional<String> getErrorIdentifier()
```
    Returns an optional string identifier for this error.
